Don't really think so.
The 1929 Permanent Apportionment Act subverted the intentions of the founders and clearly swayed the power balance back towards rural areas, even though they have equal representation in the senate.

The contradiction with your initial assertion was clearly articulated. Try addressing it instead of baiting other posters.
- Alupis 2y agoPosting this demonstrates a clear lack of understanding of how the US government works - and a gross misunderstanding of the founding of the US and the framer's intentions. The "And?" was a prompt for the poster to elaborate on their uninformed view. You apparently saw fit to double-down on expressing your lack of understanding as well... Perhaps you would like to take a swing at explaining how Congress passing a law somehow "subverts" Congress?
- quartesixte 2y agoOh man this and the 17th Amendment I think created a serious flaw to the framers' original designs. But people look at me crazy when I say that the 17th Amendment probably was a mistake and the 1929 Permanent Apportionment Act a serious mistake to our democracy.
