I... guess you could say that. Congress contains the Senate, where each state is represented by two senators regardless of population, and the House of Representatives, where representation depends on population. So, let's take two of my states, Texas and Hawaii: Texas has way more people living in it, so it has more people to represent it in the House of Representatives. But because it'd be unfair for Hawaii to not get a voice just because there's not as many people, they get just as many representatives in the Senate as Texas.

Hey, Prince! You gonna make your kingdom a democracy?!
