&gt; In the house, people are fairly represented.<p>Moreso than in the Senate, but beyond that, not actually <i>fairly</i> by most reasonable standards. Monatana&#x27;s Congressional district has a little under a million people, each of Rhode Islands two districts has a little over a half-million. So the division into states creates an almost 2:1 advantage in representation for Rhode Islanders compared to Montanans in the House.<p>Now, that&#x27;s not as lopsided as the 66:1 advantage Wyomingans have over Californians when it comes to representation in the Senate, but its not exactly <i>equal</i> representation, either.
