If so, I'm not sure reflecting the population of the nation is a sound idea. I was not born in the US nor was educated in the US, but I thought the founding fathers spent inordinate amount of energy to design a system so that democracy would not mean the "tyranny of the majority", and local governance throughout the entire political system in a country as large as the US is one of the greatest invention in politics.
