It benefits small states by giving them an out-sized influence in elections. This is not an accident.
And the beauty of it is that it can't be "unconstitutional" because it is written right into the fucking constitution.
Remember that a shithole like Wyoming has one representative based on population but two senators. California has 50+ representatives but still only two senators.
