That doesn't mean minority rule doesn't apply. If 40% of women in red states are pro-choice, and 95% of women in blue states are pro-choice, the overall number can favor pro-choice and the senate could show the opposite. Not every woman or man has the same opinion on it. |
True, but that is a good thing. We have a balanced system. The house is based on population, so large states get more representation, while the senate is 2 per state, giving small states equal representation. The system works. Creating a system where 5 states decide all policy is a bad move.
As for not every person has the same opinion... exactly the point. Our rules reflect the desire of the people, even when some of us don't like it.
