(November 10, 2016 at 12:59 pm)Mister Agenda Wrote: I think the purpose of the system we have was to give states with lower populations power somewhat out of proportion to their size as an incentive to join and stay in the union. Maybe that justification is obsolete, but it will be extremely difficult to change.

At the same time, large populous states regain some of the power they lose by having only 2 Senators regardless of size. It restores some balance.
