But what are states, artificial boundaries within a country for administration purposes. Why should 5 million people in a particular boundary have the same say

But what are states, artificial boundaries within a country for administration purposes. Why should 5 million people in a particular boundary have the same say as 50 million people living in another boundary. It makes no logical sense.. In fact it is anti-democracy as all citizens’ votes are not equal. In fact this applies to the electoral vote system also.
