Before ratifying, the individual states were concerned that majority rule would be onerous.

The non-proportional Senate and the proportional House are deliberately set up that way. This system is working as designed, and the Constitution would never have been ratified if it hadn't been so designed.

Any individual can argue that it shouldn't work that way, but the union was set up on this basis. I think it conforms well to the conception of human rights underlying the Bill of Rights. Majority rule in the US under our Constitution has strict limits.

Since we believe that the rights of the individual sometimes trump the will of the majority, it is not too much of a stretch to claim that the rights of a group of individuals may sometimes trump the desires of a larger group of individuals.
