At the same time it was necessary for the federalization to happen in the first place. States wouldn’t sign up if there wasn’t an equal vote per state. It’s like the European Council - you probably wouldn’t get Slovenia to sign up to the EU, if Slovenia got half a vote while Germany got fifty votes. But if the EU progresses farther down the federalization path it will face the same thing where the states become less important and equal representation per state becomes stupid.

Tough problems, man.
