“Senate positions were originally created to represent the individual States.”

I thought each state was created as a Republic, and that the United States was a group of Republics.

Only two states were Republics. California for a few days in 1846, and the Republic of Texas from 1836 to 1845. Texas even had several Presidents, including Sam Houston and Anson Jones.

The Constitution and the Bill of rights only refers to States and “the people. “ States are referred to numerous times in the Bill of Rights.
