The states are represented by senators and representatives. But I don't see that states are entitled to a different representation from "the people." The problem we are arguing about is the federal system, which functions in several other countries, too. But the consitutional convention did not invent the federal system. You could say it already existed when the country was formed, same as Germany. Don't let's make it a commonwealth of independent states.
