During the Constitutional Convention, delegates from smaller states were in favor of equal representation in Congress, which led to the creation of the Senate where each state, regardless of size, would have two senators. They feared that larger states would dominate legislative decisions if representation were based solely on population. This concern was a key factor in the Great Compromise, which balanced representation by establishing a bicameral legislature.
