How many US senators represent each state?

The correct answer is: 2

There are two senators representing each state in the United States. This is outlined in Article I, Section 3 of the US Constitution which states that "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state." This was a decision made by the founding fathers to ensure equal representation for the states in the federal government. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the number specified in the Constitution for the number of senators per state. Option A would result in a total of 50 senators, option C would result in an odd number of senators, and option D would result in an extremely large and unwieldy Senate.
