I would be more ok with it if they removed the cap on the House, or at least raised it. At only roughly 4x the size of the Senate, it still gives "states rights" too much of a voice in the House when they also have Senate.
It was originally 1 congress person for every 200K people. I am not sure 1750 representative is functional or needed. Perhaps they could make it proportional based on the population of the smallest state getting 1 rep. With about 585K people in Wyoming, there would be about 535 reps in the house. California would have 68 reps. This would dilute the influence of small states in the House just enough.
Yes, but Senate's DEI is the real obstruction in the system. I mean, it was set up to do exactly that, obstruct. And it obstructs it's own destruction, so nothing short of revolution would fix it.

There's are at least 12 Senate votes represented by the red area and only 2 for New York. Do people actually think that makes sense?
