And I disagree. I won't go into all the details about how the checks and balances for each branch works. Everyone thinks that's a different topic. Let's say the people in this thread are the law makers, not the people. We are going to have to make some hard ass decisions one day and the people will not agree. War is necessary at times but very unpopular. They elected us to make the rules. So we are not going to allow the Senate to be represented by population like the house. That's too many people that will have to agree. The state, no matter the size, can only send 2 Senators to represent them. They will be part of the federal government, not the state government. This body will have the final say on laws before they go to the President. This body will appoint all Judges to the supreme court. If there is a tie the VP will break it. They can do whatever they want at the state level but at the Federal level this is the way. We must protect the people from themselves. They elected Trump so they are not the smartest bunch. Now would you really change the Senate? It would be like giving your kids an equal say at home. I know it might sound a bit arrogant but you can see how they were thinking. It was a bunch of misfits in America. You cannot give the people or the states that much power and control them.
