Why did small states object to delegates being assigned according population?

Question

Am. History 1787

Answer 1

Because it gave greater voice to the larger states and the smaller states would not be properly represented. That's where the compromise of a bicameral legislature developed. The House of Representatives apportions members based on population. Thus, California has many more reps than do North Dakota or Wyoming. But the Senate apportions representation equally, so each state has an equal voice and all states have the same input into decisions.

Answer 2

States According To Population

Answer 3

because they had fewer people, and thus fewer delegates
