Eliminating the Senate is not a good idea. Maybe just fix it by populating it in proportion to the states citizens?
And do yourself a favor and finally abolish the death penalty. It does not become to a civilized country.
Isn't that just the house?
Have a look at the German system. They are also bicameral. Their primary house, the Bundestag, is like the US Congress. The secondary house, the Bundesrat, is representing the 16 German states. The votes the representatives there cast are bound to decisions of their State governments. So the state government decides yes or no on a question, and all representatives of that state are bound to that decision of their state.
This way, the first chamber represents the overall interests if the people on a federal level, while the secondary chamber represets state interests.
Yeah, I don't think the state governments in the deep south represent any of the interests of the citizens of the south, anymore than Vladimir Putin and his oligarchs represent the interests of the citizens of Russia.
The deep south are just failed states we've let limp on since we lost the stomach for reconstruction and left them in the 19th century.
