The small states deserve equal representation in the Senate, but not disproportinate power, which is what they now enjoy. If each Senator is representing their state as a soverign, then the system makes sense. In representing the people of their states, based on popular election, the system equates, for instance, Wyoming’s 500,000 people with California’s 36 million, which is a grossly unfair system of representation (irrespective of what we think of the values and policies of the people in those states).
I have to say that I disagree. The small states do in fact deserve power out of proportion to the size of their populations. Otherwise New York and California will just decide everything. The small states would have had no reason to enter the Union and ratify the Constitution if they had not been granted such power.
