We have the same number of stars now as we do now.
Gravity - nothing more, nothing less
If by smaller, you mean ones with less mass, then the answer is yes. This is because while smaller stars have less mass to burn. They burn it more slowly and more efficiently thereby increasing their lifespan.

Society is now more educated and feels for the less fortunate. Now days society is less prejudice, and more accepting.

Long-lived stars are typically lower in mass, shine less brightly, and have longer lifespans compared to short-lived stars. Short-lived stars tend to be more massive, burn through their fuel more rapidly, and have shorter lifespans before evolving or ending in a supernova explosion.
on a moon less night.
The more massive a star is, the less its life time.
because there are more states and there for more stars on the flag. hoped that helped
In absolute terms larger (more massive) stars shine more brightly than less massive ones. In relative terms (as seen from Earth) more distant stars appear dimmer than closer ones.
Probably a little less. Estimates range from 200 to 400 billion stars.
