Not really sure - someone must have decided that 2 senators for each of the 50 states, irrespective of the size or population of those states, was about right.
Perhaps they don't really wield much power compared to ordinary congressmen, so numbers aren't really important ?

The US Constitution calls for two senators from each state. Presently we have fifty states, thus one hundred senators. Our founding fathers thought this was practical.

It isn't necessarily a Democrat and a Republican. It is whatever party the people elect. Maybe D&R, 2 D's or 2 R's, and a few States have independents also.
