Explanation:

1. For the first blank (Membership in the ____ is based on equal representation...): The U.S. Senate has equal representation with 2 senators per state, so the first blank is "Senate". The second blank here: Since each state has the same number, larger and smaller states have "equal" power.
2. For the third blank (Membership in the ____ is based on proportional representation...): The U.S. House of Representatives has representation based on population, so this is "House of Representatives". The fourth blank: Larger states (with more population) have "more" power here.

Answer:

1. Membership in the \boxed{Senate} is based on equal representation. Each state has the same number of members, regardless of its population. So, larger states have \boxed{equal} power compared to smaller states in this chamber.
2. Membership in the \boxed{House of Representatives} is based on proportional representation. The number of members each state has is proportional, or relative, to its population. So, larger states have \boxed{more} power compared to smaller states in this chamber.
