Senate numbers is a good idea. The House gives people representation by the population in their states. The Senate is a counterbalance that makes all states equal regardless of pooulation size. Each chamber has its own designated duties and powers, but both chambers are required to pass laws. I think the system is ok as is, regarding its basic structure.

The main problems needing correction are better representation of people who are elected to include more diversity, and ending absurd gerrymandering. Diversity in Congress has improved since the 1950's and 1960's but not enough. Gerrymandering continues, but is being fought successfully in some areas. The Brennan Center for Justice is working on solutions to gerrymandering.

Other problems, like needing a supermajority in the Senate are a matter of rules the Senate makes.

At any rate, now is not the time to make major revisions to the constitution, beyond amendments. Not with Trumpists still having so much political power, which they will still have in government and the general public even when he is gone. He is tge symptom, not the cause of RW extremism. I shudder to think of what changes they could come up with and successfully push.
