Bicameralism is dumb.

I feel like the basic Senate set up should be kept as it is, but bigger states given a third Senate seat to give the body at least a little bit of proportional representation. What the rules for how states get an extra seat, I'm not sure. Give it to the top 5, 10, in population? Give it to states with X (10, 15, 20, 25?) or greater Congressional seats? I feel like giving it to X or greater population (10 million, 20 million) would be less effective since, as the Country's population grows, more and more states will reach that threshold and defeat the purpose of the change.

I thought the same thing. This might be a good compromise.
