    Seems like giving one group more power than another group would be bad for equality.

      That’s why we are supposed to have House members representative of pure population, and not land. Senate gives more power to rural areas, House gives more power to urban areas. It’s supposed to even out. Checks and balances.

        It’s crazy how many people in this thread don’t seem to know the absolute basics of how their own government is structured and why.

        The only reason the Senate is such a problem right now, is because the House of Representatives needs to be properly reapportioned so it’s actually representative.

          On this, we definitely agree. The House is being held down to an arbitrary number and it is patently absurd.
