      returning to this and let me say that if there was a population disparity remotely comparable to california/rhode island in 1787, equal state representation in the senate would have never happened

      as it is, equal state representation in the senate was a pure power play on part of the small state delegates and everyone knew it, even as advocates for the constitution backfilled an explanation after the fact
