What is the total number of members in the Senate?

The Senate of the United States consists of a total of 100 members. This number is established by the Constitution, which provides for two Senators from each state, regardless of the state's population. Since there are 50 states in the U.S., multiplying the two Senators by the number of states gives us the total number of 100. This structure ensures equal representation for each state in the legislative process, distinguishing the Senate from the House of Representatives, where membership is based on population.
