The Senate is undemocratic at it's foundation.   The idea of the states themselves being represented in the Federal Government and not the "people of" the states being represented is an antiquated, outdated model going back to fiefdom and feudalism.

The entire system needs to be revamped from the ground up.   Having a smaller body of the legislature (fewer members) is a good thing for things like confirmations and as a check on an over zealous House...but the Senators should not be representing such enormously different groups of people (Wyoming having the same number of Senators as California is a travesty for example).
