9 States have 18 Senators and Half the US Population

217. The HoR controls the strings and has been extorting us since 2010. Newt did too.

The HoR has wrecked most social safety net programs in this country since the 1990s by not funding them. Want to have an EPA, EEOC, food stamps, health care, etc.?

The HoR can do midnight meetings as they did during the Clinton years and cut them. Then they present them to the Senate and keep chipping away. Or as they did last year, threaten to not raise the debt limit or pass a budget. It was not the Senate controlled by Democrats that did this, it was the HoR controlled by the radical right that did it in the HoR.

The Senate has the treaties, but the HoR can cut any thing and any where they want. And they are the representatives by the numbers of the people, not the Senate, as the OP indicates is a problem. Changing the Senate is not going to happen.

We can't get a constitutional amendment through and that's what the OP requires. The OP writers also stresses education to get people to awaken to an injustice when we have been unable to get the Teaparty voted out of Congress. In either house. I'm not being a defeatist or saying that the idea has no merit.

But we are not going to persuade the American people with more Senators through a process like an amendment when we can't even get the American people to put these people out of office.
