Wednesday

North Dakota population 800,000 ........population supporting one senator 400,000
South Dakota population 943,000.........population supporting one senator 471,500
Wyoming population 590,784........population supporting one senator 295,392
California population 39,350.000........population supporting one senator 19,575,000

More powerful legislative branch of congress in my opinion is the Senate as it has a say in all passage of bills plus confirmation of appointees and judges.
