Or am I incorrect that the Senate is one of the bedrock institutions of the federal government?
Yow. That's not "predicated on minority control."
The senate was created so there would be a "department" (as Madison called it) in which the states could meet as equal powers,
regardless of population. It's members were to serve for 6 years so they could be more "deliberative" and not have to worry about
reelection every two years.
"Predicated" would mean the point of the institution was intended to enable a minority party to control legislation, and through that control,
the government itself. It was not.
