Ack, ninja'd.

You raise a good point about 1 person not representing 1 million. So should the number of representatives be based on population and split to somehow represent a certain land area?

Also, would it open more doors to problems if the individual states have more independence?

One of the things that I think causes trouble is precisely that what is legal in one state is illegal in another. It creates separation in a union.

Personally, I'm all for removing the concept of states and instead just splitting the country up into representational districts.

New York City, for example, would be a very small area, while the North Country of New York would have to be gigantic in order for there to be enough people within it to merit a representative.
