It doesn't talk about a senate at all:

> It is divided up into 10 districts, each of which sends one representative to the national legislature, which consists of 10 people.

They take this as a given and try to come up with convoluted ways to 'fix' the problem, when just fixing this axiom would solve it much easier.




Yes they don't talk about the Senate because it's not gerrymandered because it's a statewide position not subject to districting.

We already have the bundled-population representation in a senator, the House uses a different strategy explicitly because it's different for the benefits of competing means of representation to even out power.

You make it sound like there aren't partisan considerations that go into deciding which states are added to the union.
