The term length is fine, though the Senate should be proportional to population. The difference between the most and least populous state in the beginning was nothing compared to what that gap is currently. The mountain states have far too much power to block legislation. The staggered terms with 6 year limits though were actually a pretty good idea and I would certainly support keeping them.
