When our government was being formed, it was thought that the Congress would be enough. X amount of people each get one representative. But that would put higher populated states at a huge advantage over less populated states. So they also included a Senate. Every state equally gets two Senators whether you are Rhode Island or Texas. .
I hope you know that was instituted so the slave states would have the power to overcome the will of the majority in order to preserve slavery. The constitution is filled with such powers. Everything from the 3/5ths compromise to the prohibition against anti-slave legislation for a decade.
Our system of government was created in the spirit of democracy even though we are actually a Republic.
I'm sure you seen the county electoral map of our last election. If you haven't, the map is almost entirely red. If you'd like to see it, just ask, I'll post it.
What you are saying is that those tiny blue sections of the map should control all those huge sections of red. That's fair? Government doesn't just make laws and polices for people, they also make policies and laws for land as well.
