I was specifically referencing this clause:

no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate

You know, the clause that comes right after the whole "can't do anything about slavery right now" clause.

I consider this feature of the federation to be indefensible because it deprives the rights of people to equal suffrage, to the benefit of states. States should serve the rights and interests of their citizens, not the reverse.
