I have no idea what "new constitution" you're talking about. Do you mean "new in 1787?" If so, then no, no it did not. It said they would have equal representation in the upper house, and proportionate representation in the lower house.

Congress makes the rules to admit a new state into the Union of the United States. This is a power that is provided by the US Constitution.
An enumerated power is a power of congress that is specifically named in the constitution and given to the national government. They allow Congress to exercise powers that the Constitution grants ans long as they have no restrictions in the Bill of Rights and other protections of the Constitution. The tenth amendment states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Congress has no authority to exercise any power beyond the constitution. The 10th Amendment states, "The powers not delegated to the United States (congress) by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." Article 1 Section 8 specifically names the powers that have been granted to Congress. If it's not on the list, it's not constitutional.
