Direct election of Senators.

A lesser known debacle was the “one man one vote” SCOTUS decision.

In the 1960s or early 1970s. Prior to that, States had a similar arrangement with their counties as the states do with the Electoral College.

The idea of course, was that a few large cities in a single state could not dominate the rural, lesser populated counties, there was a balance.
