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.

There was 11 states or something like that when the constitution came into play. Most of the empty states came along like 100 years later.
