The text states "A striking modern example of malapportionment is the U.S. senate, where states receive equal representation despite widely varying populations." While it is true that the people of the U.S.A. are not equally represented in the senate, it was never intended to represent them (the house is for that); Instead, the senate originally represented the state governments directly (2 senators for each state). The senate was shielded from corruption within and gerrymandering of state governments by the 17th amendment, which changed the system so that senators are now elected by the peoples of the individual states (two senators for each state's people). Recognizing that the senate represents the many peoples of the individual states, rather than the collective people of the united states, it is apportioned perfectly.
