This is more or less correct. The idea was that all states were to have equal amounts of sovereignty, regardless of population. Bodies like the UN only have 1 delegate at a time. Well, the US allows them to have a backup in the Senate.
Also, the intended function of the Senate was to oversee process and senators were selected by state legislators. They are not supposed to originate legislation. But it got a bit twisted up since then.
