In a state with a republican form of government, as demanded in the Constitution each county would be equally represented in their state legislature. Florida does not have a bicameral legislature anymore , they should have one house representing the people and one house representing the counties. Florida as a two legislative houses representing the people and no legislative house representing the counties.
In order to prevent the tyranny of the majority, our founding fathers created a bicameral legislature where there was one house to represent the people and one house to represent the states.
The legislatures of the states also had bicameral legislatures to prevent the urban counties from dominating the rural counties.
The small counties in Florida has a natural right to be represented in the state senate just like the small states have a natural right to be equally represented in Congress.
