And they are still elected by the people. Just because senators are not proportional to the number of constituents and instead proportional to the number of states does not mean they doesn't represent the people - they represents the people of a state but in a non-proportional manner. You haven't made any points against that since I pointed it out, and it completely negates your original point, so I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by noting the Senate is more powerful. They are, in some respects, but that's irrelevant as to whether they represent the people. Also, Congress has quite a few unique capabilities as well, such as oversight, impeachment, the ability to declare war. Powers are split between the two parts of the legislative branch.

Wasn’t it stopped because a disproportionate number of Senators to the population stopped it? How often have Presidents used military force when the majority of the people weren’t in favor of it? Judicial, Cabinet, and Committee are all decided by the Senate.
