Byron York writes today that some liberals are complaining about the disproportionate influence that the Constitution gives small states. He paraphrases their concern: “Why do senators from dinky little states like Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Maine — why do those senators get to thwart the desires of lawmakers from more important places like California, New York, and New Jersey? How could a man like Sen. Max Baucus wield the power that should be held by Sen. Barbara Boxer?” Getting rid of equal Senate representation for states would require constitutional reform. But there is a way for small states to exert less influence on, say, the structure of American health care: Reduce the government’s role in it.
