Ok, but wasn't the idea behind the Senate not so much population representation but state representation?

1.  Make all elections publicly funded.

2.  Have Representatives run at large in bigger districts and take the top group (2,3,4, whatever) instead of having many small districts with just one winner. 

I don't know if I would call those simple, but I can't say I have a problem with the 1st one. I can't comment on the 2nd one without more information, more detail.
