Representative Democratic Model- Electable Offices Part Four

Representative Democratic Model- Electable Offices Part Four

In at least several states, more than one local and state legislator (lower and upper house) represent the same entity. This needs to change as this is Democratic Imperialism. When more than one elected official represents the same entity, the more populated areas in that entity are disproportionately represented. The more sparsely populated areas in that entity are inevitably disenfranchised.

The preceding principle also applies to the U.S. Senate. Because the individual states are no longer sovereign republics and since their legislatures no longer choose the senators, it serves no Representative Democratic purpose for both senators to be chosen by the same entire state's electorate.

In Virginia, is it any wonder why their two Senators come from highly populated areas? The more sparsely populated areas are often neglected because the election setup is Imperial Democratic Mode.

There needs to be at least three senators per state rather than two because of the huge population increase. Too few elected officeholders promotes Democratic Imperialism.

Most importantly, each senator should stand election from a specific part of the state. No voter should ever vote for more than one senator.

The US Constitution states that each state must send two senators. It never has been required that each senator be elected by the same entire state electorate. According to the 17th Amendment, it merely requires that two senators from each state are elected by the People. With each senator being elected by voters belonging to one specific part of the state, the 17th Amendment requirements are met. 

Those senators still represent the entire state as they do their nation. However, each senator only answers to their electorate in their specific "half" or "third" of the state when being chosen. 

Cliff Notes Version: Only one elected officeholder should represent a specific area. The U.S. Senate should adapt this principle.
