Sure, but does that really justify Rhode Island having the same number of Senators as California? I don't mind the temperament of law that the Senate provides, but I do think it would be more fair to have the larger states have a bigger voice in the Senate. Make the minimum 1 senator per state and the maximum 3. It will never happen of course because passing a constitutional amendment to do it would require the small states give up power, and why would they vote to do that?
