Who does a U.S. Senator represent?
AOnly voters of one district
BAll people of the state
COnly members of one party
DOnly people who own land
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. All people of the state
1. Each state elects U.S. Senators to serve in the Senate.
2. A Senator represents all people of the state, not a smaller group inside it.
3. That includes people who did not vote and people who voted for someone else.
4. Representatives are the ones tied to districts, so the district option describes the House rather than the Senate.
5. Party membership does not limit whom a Senator serves, so the party option is wrong.
6. Owning land has never decided who a Senator represents, which makes that option wrong as well.
