The Constitution positions the Senate to provide equal representation for each state, regardless of the size or population of the state.

Economic: Difference of view The Democratic and Republican parties receive the bulk of the attention from the American people. Financial burdens are of great concern for the American people, and the two government parties due to unemployment and situations of great depressions or recession in past history.
