Federalist Paper No. 62, written by James Madison, discusses the qualifications and structure of the Senate. Madison highlights that Senators must have more experience and serve longer terms than Representatives, ensuring greater stability and wisdom in legislation. Equal representation in the Senate ensures that smaller states have a voice in federal matters, balancing the influence of larger states.

Madison argues that the Senate acts as a check on the House of Representatives, preventing hasty or poorly considered legislation from becoming law.
