Can't convert value type array to params object[]

If C# can cast an int to an object, why not an int[] to an object[]?

Simple Program Example:

void Main()
{
    var a = new String[]{"0", "1"};
    var b = new int[]{0, 1};

    AssertMoreThan1(a); // No Exception
    AssertMoreThan1(b); // Exception
}

static void AssertMoreThan1(params object[] v){
    if(v.Length == 1){
        throw new Exception("Too Few Parameters");
    }
}
