That is how federations are supposed to work. It is important what majority of states want, not what majority of the population wants.
If you want the federation dismantled and current territory combined into single state ruled by popular vote - just say so. But until then - it is working exactly as designed.

But that is clearly no longer the case in the United States. Our political system should reflect that reality.
