Back in the 1790s, two or three states had more population than all the others of the 13, combined. They set it up that way. Intentionally. To have everyone work together, so they set up the House, to give bigger voice to the high population states and the Senate to give bigger voice to the low population states.
All laws have to be passed by both. Everyone had to work together.
That’s wild, isn’t it?
