We have just 33 State Senators in TN (with the Dems outnumbered badly, 28R-5D. 3 from Memphis (2 Black/1 White), 2 from Nashville (1 Black/1 White), I’m in the Black Dem district). Each Senator has a constituency of about 200,000. With 99 State Representatives, they represent close to double the number of citizens 1 Delaware State Senator does.

Of course, the upside to large legislatures in small states is that you can have a personal relationship with your elected officials, which is closer to what the Founding Fathers would prefer.

If you made a bunch of Delawares nationally, especially within cities, more than a few would be rotten boroughs.
