It is now mostly urban but the agarian[sic] states have as much influence as the urban states. Nonsense. Arkansas doesn't have as much influence as New York or California or Texas and it shouldn't. It does in the Senate. But we ARE a state and And what? You need to read up on your history. This issue was hotly debated and was then, as it is today, a large-state/small-state argument. Had nothing to do with the "agrarian" nature of the states; it had to to with states rights. The point that I was making is that back then it didn't make nearly the difference it makes now. The Great Compromise didn't just happen. The Founders thought about it long and hard. And frankly, it is moot point; there is no way it would ever be changed. Nothing is fixed in concrete.
