The House of Representatives.
However, they don't necessarily have more power, just more people.
That part of the house is based upon population size of the respective state. The more people a state has, the more people representing them in the House they have.
At each census it is possible for the seats in the House to be reapportioned. They do not add seats to the house, they just switch them around.
For example, if North Dakota lost population, and Oregon's population increased. It is possible that ND could lose a House seat, and Oregon would then take that seat.
There are 435 seats in the House.

How did the cotton gin change political power in South Carolina?
The southern states were able to grow and process more cotton with the cotton gin and the cotton that was produced was sold to England and Europe.

There had always been the fear of the small states that the larger southern states would control congress and the government.
What was the key issue in ratifying the constitution around 1787?
Apportionment of representatives. Small states wanted to be represented equally in Congress as more populous states. Populous states, understandably, thought that since their population was larger, they should have more power in Congress. They eventually compromised with the bicameral (that is, two houses) Congress. The Senate gave each state equal power　(2 senators per state), the House's representatives were allotted proportionally according to population.
