I'm assuming it's working as intended.

The Senate is. The House is not. The artificial limit of 435 set in 1911 has turned it into a pseudo-Senate and done a lot of harm to this country. With the same population representation as then, we should have around 1600 Representatives now.
A lot of the issues we currently have in Congress simply wouldn't exist with the House operating as it was designed.

To benefit Southern slave states and sparsely populated rural states? Check.

I always thought it'd be interesting if one senator were elected only by the most populous municipality in each state.
Republicans would just create a mega-municipality of all the rural voters.
To be fair, small states would never agreed to the constution without the senate.
Southern states would not have agreed to the constitution without the 3/5 compromise.
The United States would not exist without these compromises. The constitition is, as CGP Grey calls it, a Compromise-titution.

Disingenuous. That's 21 states and 42 senators.
Now do representatives, which was originally supposed to match population distribution.
