If "piss ant" Rhode Island wasn't equal in the senate to i guess "not piss ant" California, than it's no different than the House is it?
Why would we need another house of representatives? The senate gives voice to the minority and insulates from the heat of the moment, explicitly the opposite of the House.
Its a checks and balances thing.Don't like it, the answer is to win elections.
