•State Capacity•Political Stability•Governmental responsiveness and representation
The senate gives equal representation to each state, two representatives from each state. The house of representatives is sometimes called the peoples' house because it gives states with more people more representatives than states with fewer people. While this seems unequal, it is a fair way to represent the people.
They wanted equal representation for their states. Mainly because they measured how much representation you got by how many people you had in your state. So bigger cities such as New York and Pennsylvania (at the time) had alot of representation in voting and other political matters.

Political Science is much more focused on the mechanics of the state and political systems. Usually, they focus the study of one particular branch of the state, such as the presidency, legislature, or judiciary. Other branches focus on voting behavior, political parties, relations between states (International Relations/Foreign Policy), or differences between political systems (comparative politics). Sociology on the other hand is much more focused on the well-being of societies. When they do include the state or political system as a variable of interest, its to examine how the state is providing for the people in terms of the welfare state, crime policy, etc. Also, because sociology is much more focus on society in general, its sub-areas are broader in scope covering everything from Immigration and globalization to social inequality and health disparities. I also find that sociology is much more pertinent to public policy because of their focus on the content of what political systems do as opposed to their mechanics (how they are maintained).
