No I understood your point, but you seem to be ignoring mine. The Senate wasn't just a bulwark against populism, it serves as a way to express the sovereignty of individual states in a way to balance states with very high populations from running roughshod over the rest of the states. You have two things at play here: 1. Population size 2. State sovereignty You're ignoring the 2nd, but they are inseparable when it comes to understanding the function and purpose of the Senate.
