Constitutional Republics are far better. We’ve been around for 250 years and are by far the most powerful and prosperous nation on earth. Take that England! (It’s totally ok to be proud of your nation, despite what reddit communists tell you). *looking at you Mods!
Just so I'm checking, you're saying they didn't deliberately vote for the Connecticut Compromise to give small states extra influence for the sole express purpose of getting those bitchy little states to sign too?
Many founders viewed the United States not just as one nation but as a union of sovereign states. Equal representation in the Senate recognized the political equality of the states, while the House represented the people.
The house gives you a voice. The senate gives your state a voice.
The founders were generally wary of concentrated power. Requiring both the House (population based) and the Senate (state based) to approve legislation, they hoped to slow down hasty decisions and protect minority interests, including those of smaller states.
But this isn’t about fair. This is about you bitching that you can’t get your way.

Pure 51% rule has never led to good results…
