It really is ridiculous to have a state that small with 2 senators. I just now figured that the average single county in Wyoming is almost 3 and 1/2 times the size of Rhode Island.


You understand it's along the same line of reasoning as the Electoral College? So that the small states have a voice and input,even if they only have a population allowing only one Representative.

The Founders came up with a pretty decent system all the way around. Made it tough to amend the Constitution for a reason, in other words there better be a good reason and more than a simple majority of the States better agree with that reason. Made the representation of the States in Congress and the construction of that body with two parts into a system that's worked for centuries.

I'll not complain about RI having two Senators................Now, if they want to even out the number of Congressmen............NO WAY.
