The Senate is what is making the slaughter in the USA continue.

It was regarded as fair when the U.S. was constituted. If each state wasn’t given equal representation in the senate, the country never would have been created in the first place.
The U.S. is strange in that it's still bound by a 200 year old founding constitution drafted when the country was a completely different place. But the makeup of the senate is not going to change. Half the states in the union would secede before they’d acquiesce to that.
