More representatives also reduces the overall importance of any individual representative. Potentially it would also make way for additional political parties as more granular viewpoints would be represented.

I’ve wondered what practical difference rolling back the 17th amendment would have. One concept it might re-establish is that of each state as an entity whose viewpoint should be heard (at the level of the state government). I suppose it would also be an additional check between states and people?
