It is not the eastern seaboard that have excessive power. It is states like Wyoming and Alaska with 500,000 people and the same power as a state with 30 millionThe Senate should be modified,......it doesnt represent anything really in a rational manner.
The Roman Senate was officially advisory only...maybe we should go to that....
Franklin didnt want a Senate at all. ......Senators certainly dont represent the states they come from...they just represent special interests......
The first thing to do would be to outlaw all money from outside the state in Senate campaigns.
Wow! You could say that about the House also!
no, not really..... the house is clearly based on population within districts.
The rough correspondence of the house in Rome was the various committea......tho some of them could represent the whole citizen population of Rome. .....OUR house hasn't even kept up with the representative ratio that we had at our founding.
Franklin had no problem with the house I dont believe.
Gerrymandering, from either the Dems or the Reps, must be stopped.
You don't gerrymander state wide races.
I know the far left can't stand that it is true.
House races....for sure.....gotta stop it.
well for statewide races for federal office you have the state itself as a gerrymander......why should RI = California in power???.....it doesnt make rational sense. The eastern seaboard states were drawn up in part based on religious differences that dont exist anymore...and shouldnt have mattered in the new country regardless. It needs to be reformed.
