How many senators does each state receive?

  1. Based on population

  2. 2

  3. 1

  4. Varies by state size

The correct answer is: 2

Each state receives two senators regardless of its population, as stated in the United States Constitution. Option A is incorrect because senators are not allocated based on population, unlike members of the House of Representatives. Option C is incorrect as it goes against the constitutional requirement of two senators per state. Option D is incorrect because the number of senators does not depend on the size of the state; larger states do not receive more senators.
