“At the time that they enacted the Constitution, the [population] ratio between the largest state and the smallest state was something about 13-to-1 or 14-to-1. People like Madison and Hamilton were saying it would be ridiculous to give a resident of Delaware 13 times the political representation of a resident of Virginia, which was then the largest state. Well, today the ratio is about 67-to-1, so what seemed absurd then has gotten dramatically worse.” https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/07/dsa-platform-senate-abolish-jonathan-chait.html #USPol
