I don't. I think the compromise was entirely reasonable and sensible. What has undermined it is not the one state/two senator rule, but rather the transfer of power from the States to the federal government. Much of this would be irrelevant if the principle governance was at the state level and the federal government did only those things that required national efforts. I think one could eliminate 75% of the federal government through devolution.
