Luke_Wilbur Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years. [u.S. Constitution, Article I, section 3, clause 1] The six-year Senate term represented a compromise between those constitutional framers who wanted a strong, independent Senate and those who feared the possible tyranny of an aristocratic upper house, insulated from popular opinion. A six-year term would control turnover in the legislature, allow Senators to take responsibility for measures over time, and make senators largely independent of Public Opinion.
