I think, from my point of view as a foreigner to the US that a reform of the Senate is necessary. Here in Argentina we did the same thing in 1994, amending the composition of the upper chamber to represent a more 'democratic' distribution, so to speak.

I think what would be good for the U.S is what I call an 'inverse' representation of the states, to give more saying in the decision making of the American democracy to more 'worthy' states, so-to speak. Under this 'inverse' system, Wyoming would get 55 Senate Seats, while California gets 1.

It may sound unfair at first, but in reality this proposal would level the playing field so that less populated states aren't intimidated by the bigger population of the most overcrowded states.
