That was the intention of the house, not the senate. But regardless, the design of congress isn’t too great either. The power of a person’s vote on the legislature should be as close to equal as is possible with everyone else’s. No vote should have more weight/power.
Can you expand on that?
I was referring to the distribution of senators because it gives small states the same number of votes as large states. That means that each individual voter in larger states has proportionately less representation.
Yeah, I think that is wrong, as it gives people an unequal voice over legislature. Ideally the entirety of congress would looks something far closer to the house of representatives, with each representative being representative of the population.
