Bonus points. If you think of something you would add to the new constitution.

    Senate, not gerrymandered?

    giving < 1/3rd of the population 2/3rds of the national political power is the most severe representative disenfranchisement there is in the US

      The senate is by no means fair or democratic, but its borders reflect something that exists apart from the purpose of electing senators and whose borders are not drawn for the (sole) purpose of obtaining a majority in the Senate.

      It’s not gerrymandered in the way that a “whites-only” sign isnt sexist.
