I don't disagree, but the actual situation in America does not match this ideal at all.

  It absolutely does not meet this ideal...ever since the capped the number of Representatives to 435 in 1918...a travesty against the Constitution, in my opinion. I don't care if it looks silly to have a stadium of reps. Look a this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_apportionment#/media/File:US_population_per_representative.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_ap... Our House should go back to something like 1 per 75,000.

    “Looks silly” is putting it lightly. That would only increase the already ridiculous level of dysfunction that your government suffers from, and would require vast procedural changes to even get back to those levels.

      You provide no evidence for your claims. More representative, more locally bound, less tied to corporate interests because you don't need to raise that much money to run a campaign for 20,000 citizens you represent. That means instead of spending half their day, every day, fundraising, they can attend to business.
