Not exactly. The house of representatives should be much much larger than it is.

The same thing with the senate too. Current senate setup gives a lot of power to empty land.

"Current senate setup gives a lot of power to empty land."

That's the entire premise that got the smaller colonies to sign on. It's a feature, not a bug.

I mean, owning slaves was a feature at one time. Features change with time.

How do you think that would work out? I would guess the less populated states would leave if they feel disregarded. I mean, that lack of representation was the basis for the revolution.
