The Senators are 2 per state by constitutional specification.

The United States Constitution allows only two Senators per state. You should have learned this during high school.

The Consitution!. Each state has two Senators elected every six years.
The House of Representatives is based on population. Reps elected every two years. I'm not sure what previous limits have been, but I think the current number of Rep. allowed is 435.
The idea is states with a smaller populations have an equal say in issues. The Senate is a more powerful body than the House---power is more evenly distrubuted. In the House states with the larger populations have more sway.

The number of senators is set at 2 per state by the U.S. Constitution. The number of Representastives for the House of Congress per state is determined by population census, with a minimum number of one.

Every state gets two. That way every state has an equal voice in the Senate.
In the other house of the legislature, the House of Representatives, the number of seats each state gets are determined by population.

Every state has 2 Senators. It is the number of Congressman in the House of Representatives that is determined by population.

Per The Constitution, each state gets 2 senators. If, however, you are asking about congressmen, it is base upon the state's population. That's one of the reasons we do a census every 10 years. There are only, I believe 365 congressmen. After the census is completed, they allocate those 365 seats to the states based on population. Some states lose; California and Arizona gain.
