No not at all, helping not over powering by sheer numbers by a more populated neighboring state. Was an item inserted at the founding fathers, now a historic one, hence the term relic was used.
Much liken to keeping the residents of Alaska and California represented in a balance of power. Where if it was just a majority controlled then in all reality the states with a largest population would control the smaller ones.
