Why is it odd that in a federalized country 1 person is not necessarily 1 vote? Look at the UN general assembly: votes of island nations with few thousand people are worth the same as another nation with 1B people.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoIf the UN could make decisions with the sorts of impact on ordinary people's lives that the US Senate can, I think we'd see the problems with the UN structure too. The UN, however, is primarily a venue for the airing of grievances, the distribution of aid, and occasionally the finding of common purpose. It's not much like the US Senate, which consistently blocks legislation supported by a majority of the population.
