I think it might make the state government a little more important than they are now. There are only two things that I think would need to change. Senators could only serve one 6 year term or two 4 year ones.
And I would think that people would have to be able to move or choose to be residents of other states much easier.
I would also be worried about states doing something that would cause problems in the next state over....
