Not necessarily. It depends more on population than size really. For example, Massachusetts is one of the smallest states in the nation but it's more powerful than the state of North Dakota.

What was the Great Compromise primarily related to?
The Great Compromise, aka the Connecticut Compromise, was the deal reached at the Constitutional Convention dealing with how to have representation in the legislative branch. Big states wanted more seats, so they were for having representation based on how much population a state had. Small states wanted it to be equal. SO, the compromise was to have TWO legislative bodies... now known as the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House is based on population, so it favors big states like California.... The Senate is equal, so small states like Rhode Island are really more powerful in this one.

How did Hugh williamson vote?
He voted in favor of the Conneticut Compromise (The Great Compromise) he signed the Constitution. He was against slavery because North Carolina was a large state and the smaller states wanted to count them as people for there population. (They came up with the 3/5 Compromise). Because the Virginia plan allowed the bigger states to have more power. You sign a paper that says you are for/against what you are voting for. Experts don't know if they signed at the Convention in Penssylvania in 1787 or not.

How were both the great compromise and the three-fifths compromise related to population?
Both assuaged the concerns of the less-populous Southern colonies, to encourage them to remain part of the US under the US Constitution, these states having first joined under the Articles of Confederation.The Great Compromise, or Connecticut Compromise, was a bicameral (two-house) plan used to settle the representation of states in the US Congress. It balanced the power of northern states (with their greater population) and southern states (with their great land area). In the Senate, all states received equal representation regardless of population, that being two senators per state. In the House of Representatives, representation was apportioned based on population.In the House, however, another concession was made to encourage ratification of the Constitution by southern states: their slave populations were included in their apportionment, but only at 3/5 of the actual slave count. This was despite the fact that no slaves could actually vote in a state or federal election.
