So, the forefathers, geniuses that they were, devised a system based on population but also weighted toward those living in rural areas. This helps protect states' rights, an important issue (although it was much more important then).

Unfortunately, you are totally right. What do you think the Senate is? Every state, regardless of size, gets 2 senators. That is outrageously silly - Rhode Island, with about 6 inhabitants, gets the same voice as the millions upon millions in New York or California or Texas or Illinois or Florida?
God bless our founding fathers, eh?
