This, 100%.
Without the check of the Electoral College and Senate, there wouldn't BE a United States.
Because the smaller states would have "noped out" of joining for fear of populous states ramming through whatever they wanted. Maryland nearly did anyway.
Here in Australia, a Senate vote in Tasmania is worth nine Senate votes in NSW.
And that's okay. Same reason.
