The problem is the Constitution. It is outdated and can no longer give guidance and structure to the country we have now become. It only divides us. Its time to switch to a unicameral parliamentary government, maybe with proportional elections. Our representation will never be adequate for a country of our size. The bulk of our taxation and legislative power should go to the states where we have adequate representation. Especially benefits received by the people.

To make the senate proportional we would need about 600 senators or we could force the small states to merge with a larger neighbor. I doubt that either approach would get any support.
