The simpler idea, if you think the Senate is undemocratic, would be to transfer powers from the Senate to the House of Representatives, and leave the Senate as a symbolic body like the House of Lords. Or just partition very large states. (Actually, per the Constitution, the one thing you are never allowed to amend by the amendment process is equal representation of the states in the Senate, but states have broken off of other states multiple times in US history, including in the Founders' days, so that's clearly good and allowed practice.)
