I think rural areas need the protection in ways that urban areas don't. Going to a popular vote would create an urban bias. Voting is the lowest level of political participation and there's inherent inequality in voting power in a federalist system. It's just part of it. If we had a unitarian system then it would be a bigger problem and a popular vote would make more sense.
