>Citizen[s] in WY have roughly 3x the voting power as citizen in CA Which is the point, so as to prevent high population urban centers from dictating everything to the rest of American that doesn't share their values. >due in large part to a system designed to appease slave-holding states 200 years ago. I assume you're referring to the 3/5 Compromise here. While true that this was a consideration, the underlying reasoning is still sound. It makes no more sense for San Francisco to rule over Sac City Iowa than Sac City Iowa to rule over San Francisco. That's the beauty of the system the Founders designed. Otherwise you just drift further and further toward Direct Democracy, which is a euphemism for "chaos".
