Before Reynolds, Senates in many states often represented counties. Back then they served the same purpose as the pre-17th Amendment federal senate, to counter wild popular assemblies.

State Senators represent the people in the same way as State Representatives. Nebraska did away with one of the chambers, and they've survived. The Nebraska representative called themselves Senators for the prestige factor.
That's my point, the State Senates serve no good purpose.
