Exactly the point and origin of the 2 separate parts of the legislature. Percent of population benefits states like California in the house and puts states like Wyoming on equal footing in the Senate.
- IMAYousaf 6y agoBut it should be realized equally in the House as well.
- niij 6y agoCare to expand on that a bit? If you're saying it should have the same amount of votes in the House as a larger (by population) state has, what is the purpose of having 2 separate legislative bodies?
- IMAYousaf 6y agoSorry, I was talking about the ratios used to govern how much each state gets in the House of Representatives. IE the formula for 1 state shouldn't be X people per 1 representative and another shouldn't be Y people per representative. They should both be the same. The Census can be used to readjust that every 10 years.
