Because American founding fathers reason like Igbo people, perhaps copied it from Igbos according to a US historian. True representation is based on electoral (block or clan) vote not popular votes or numbers. For example in Igbo clans and villages, they have voting block based on the size of the clan or village. For example, Umunachi has 5000 people, they get 5 block vote, Owelle has 2000 people, gets 2 block vote, Awka has 100,000 gets 100 block of vote, e.t.c. Why did Igbo ancestors do this? They do this because they don't want Awka to dominate other small villages or clan on the map. So that when Awka is trying to dominate, Umunachi, Owelle and the rest of other smaller clans and villages, those smaller clans and villages will combine their votes to get over Awka's big 100 block vote to keep Awka in check. That's exactly what US founding fathers did. So that Texas, New York, California and Florida will not dominate the smaller states. Had Nigerian founding fathers known about this or wanted fairness, they would have done this so that North will not be dominating the south with their numbers. Come on sense!
