It is completely absurd that little Leftist Vermont, and Delaware and Connecticut and Rhode Island and Hawaii get the same vote as huge Conservative Texas......right Democrats?
How come they never want to talk about the small Left leaning states?
The whole constitution is a deal between states. Without it, the smaller states would simply be ignored and screwed over by politicians in Washington DC. The smaller states in 1789 understood this all too well. That’s why they weren’t about to agree to a deal that did not allow them equal representation in at least one house of Congress.
I would also add that the Constitution acts directly on both the people and states. Quaint republican theory demands consent of the governed. It was beyond foolish and ignorant to create another popular branch, but positively dangerous to grant its members SIX YEAR TERMS!
