I think that having two senators per state is a useful prop to state identity, which in turn is useful to federalism. That, admittedly, is not doing so well, but it might be our best best to surviving and thriving as a deeply divided country.
Agreed. Our founding fathers got it right. This is a core principle we don't want to mess with.
Senate is equal voice per state, House is proportional representation…. Why is this poll asking the question? Sounds like they’re asking if we should only have the House.
