It's OK to criticize the Constitution. In many ways, it's a flawed document. ex - California has the same number of Senators as Wyoming.


This is not a flaw. It is a characteristic. The senate was designed to give each state an equal voice. The house was designed to give a voice to each state based on population. The house and the senate balance each other so that states with greater populations cannot unduly dominate states with lower populations and vice versa.

Looking at the senate alone without looking at the relationship with the house is just not intellectually honest.
