Well it should surprise you that America is in fact a Republic, and not a democracy, also the whole point of having two houses in the legislature was so that smaller states would feel more equally represented than just having one house based off population, in which small states would have almost no voice whatsoever.

Is that what you guys say to justify things like California having as many senators as Wyoming, when the former has a population that's bigger by over 60 times? Why is a Californian's vote worth 1/60th of a Wyomingian's?

In the US I believe their House of Representatives are based on population sizes, while the Senate are based on Statehood. So each designated area regarded as a "state" is granted two electors in the Senate. It is kind of like the UN, China doesn't get more electors based on their population.
