The US exists because a far-away British majority oppressively over-taxed and over-regulated a minority group of colonies, leading to the Revolutionary War.
US states may not be countries, but there was a time in history where they had a choice to form the fledging United States. There were a number of compromises that everyone agreed to. One of the most important compromises was that the States had assurances that high population states would not be able to step all over the smaller colonies, and that the Federal government would not simply become another tyrannical monarchy.
