Apparently the concept of tyranny of the majority eludes you. Google it.

Small states did not want to be squashed by big states. The system purposely gets rid of equal votes. It was not ignorant but purposeful.

EDIT: Think about it. This system will not change. It would require a constitutional amendment which would never be ratified by the smaller states. We're stuck with it.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution

So does this prove the founding fathers were always right?
