Because you live in a certain state, you are one of many people served by the same two senators. Because you live in a certain election district, you are one of many people who are served by the same representative. You and everyone else represented by senators and representatives are generally known as constituents.
On a typical day, a senator or representative can expect a big batch of letters from his or her constituents back home. Some letters express the constituents' opinions on national issues. Other letters may describe personal problems like taxes or unemployment. Finally, included with some letters are proposals for bills that constituents wish to see introduced and enacted.
