What concerned larger states about their representation in congress?
Big states did not want to have only the same number of representatives as smaller states, as they had more people and a perceived need for a larger voice. Smaller states didn't want to be overpowered in the legislature by bigger, more populated states, because the small states were just as equal a part of America as were the bigger states. The Constitutional Convention elected to create both houses in the legislature - the House of Representatives, where representation is determined by population, and the Senate, where each state gets two representatives, regardless of population or size.
Why do you think that the constitution insist on dividing state representative into a bicameral or two part congress?
It was a compromise. States with large population wanted representation in Congress to be proportional to population. Small States wanted equal representation for all States. The House of Representatives is based on population, and the Senate is equal for each State.
