Keep in mind these population totals are including slaves who had no rights. The south had far fewer free people than the north so giving them the same number of senators benefited the slave states. It shouldn't be any surprise that 200 years later the states that benefit from this senate are rural white states.
You do realize the number of Supreme Court justices has been changed multiple times in the past? There is literally no rule in the constitution that you have to have 9 justices.
In the 1790 census, Virginia was the largest state in the country. It was 12 times larger than the smallest state which was Delaware. California is 68 times larger than Wyoming.
Democrats represent 56.5% of the population in the senate. They have 50 senators. Republicans represent 43.5% of the population. They have 50 senators. Since 1996, Democrats have represented the majority of the population in the senate. Republicans have controlled the senate in 14 of those 26 years.
When the constitution was written, was the largest state 68 times larger than the smallest state? What good reason is there that 578,000 people in Wyoming have the same 2% representation in the senate as 40 million in California?
Democrats aren't going to win both chambers. Fetterman chased down a black kid so he's canceled and Biden hasn't passed their entire agenda in 2 years so why bother?
I'll just put this here. A tornado ripped through Gaylord today. I know this town well as my parents had a place there and my brother lived there for a brief period of time.
