The individual can live alone. They can succeed in a sense. Government typically form to address the interactions of individuals, the negative ones in particular.
I remember reading somewhere that one of the first proposed amendments was making it so that every 60k people got represented by one person in congress. It comes out to close to 5666 elected officials today.
The total amount of seats in congress has not changed since 1960. Though, I do remember that the constitution says that you cannot have more representatives than 1/30000, besides that congress can expand apportionment at any time.
It is very hard, however, to predict the political consequences of expanding apportionment, which is why no one seems to touch it. Many would believe that it would assist the democrats, but it is likely that it would destroy both political parties, as they would have to manage a lot more campaigns. And things would most certainly slow to a crawl.
Exactly. That was the original intention of the framers was to ensure it was difficult to pass anything to ensure a minority was represented. The uniparty has thrown that concept out the window.

Sounds perfect.
