Some electoral college math: Small states way overweighted

[dumbcat]

8. You know, when this country was formed, it was named

The UNITED STATES of America. Not "the United People" of America, or "America", or any such other thing. As much as we don't like to hear it, this nation was not formed as a democracy of all the people of the country, it was, as it is called, an association of united sovereign STATES. The Constitution was written as a pact between these STATES, not of all the people in ALL the states. All the proportionality was geared to the STATES, not the PEOPLE of the collective of states.

I wish people would get this through their heads. We are not, and were never intended to be, a democracy of the people. As much as many would like that to be, it's not. It is a Republic designed around an association of sovereign STATES. The people within those states are not relevant to most of the provisions in the Constitution as to how our government works.

So keep on bitching about unequal representation of PEOPLE, but you are wasting your time. 1 man, 1 vote democracy was never a concept of our Republic. Deal with it.
