One thing I'd like to see changed is how the Senate is comprised. The "Two senators per state regardless of population" thing is just plain dumb.

Wyoming's two senators represent approx. 291 thousand people each.

California's two senators represent approx. 19.17 million people each.

Why should Wyoming have as much power voting on legislation, that will affect the entire country, as California?

That's a 66 to 1 ratio in population yet it's a 1 to 1 ratio in voting power?????
