No you’re pointing out something that’s not part of any serious discussion of the issue anywhere.
So far from what “will” happen that none of the states or regions currently disadvantaged exactly this way are even suggesting succession as a solution.
And took a side line in implying that my statement of historical fact was intended to insult farmers or something.
As well as individual state governments, and as @VeronicaConnor pointed out the court system.
Ensuring representation for smaller states is the glossing we use on this issue to avoid discussing that the concerns in question were slavery and the smaller population we were ensuring a voice for were southern planters and the merchant class that was reliant on them.
No where in the history of the issue was it ever about keeping smaller states from leaving. It was a series of fundemental compromises intended to get the Southern colonies to sign on at all. Those colonies (and subsequently states) were larger, with a larger total population. But a population of free residents, and a population of land owners smaller than those of the Northern states. They were also the richest states, and the economic drivers for the American colonies. Such that neither the revolution, nor the new nation could operate without them.
