That is understanding the matter far too much. Without the compromise of the bicameral legislature, the country never would have existed. That is not simply an accident of history; that is a foundational part of the social contract which forms this nation.

By the time Wyoming was admitted into the union it already led to huge distortions that weren’t present with the original 13 colonies. It’s ironic that it took Trump to bring America to a real breaking point though.
I'm sure that compromise was important at the time, but is an albatross now.
