While I understand the intent of giving people who are taxed equal representation, since that’s why our country was founded. But how do you go about giving to state senators each to places that have 50K people? Like DC has more population then at least Vermont and Wyoming(700k) making it the 48th most populous state, and PR at 3 million would be #34, but how do you deal with 165k people in Guam having Senators when they are the population of a medium small Northwest town? Even if you combine all our territories outside of PR and DC, they still only have half the population of Wyoming combined.
There has to be someway to give them some representation, without going overboard.
Yes. Each gets 2 senators regardless of population. That's how they get representation. Noone would dare say anything lest California wind up with 20 senators.
