California getting to decide the will of Kansas is a broken system. It feels a lot like, say, the king of England ruling the colonies without representation.
Kansas (assumably) has a working general assembly and is perfectly capable of passing legislation at the state level to express their will in whatever way they see fit. Meanwhile, at the federal level, the will of the majority of citizens is what should be represented.
Kansas and California both have equal representation in the Senate, which every federal law must pass through; there is no taxation without representation comparison to be made here.
You need either much smaller units, or one system with a more democratic structure.
