One of the major problems/differences was that the smaller states were afraid that the larger states would have more power in the government. The discussion concerning if there would be two houses in Congress compared to one brought this out. States like Del were afraid that a southern state like VA who counted slaves as part of the population would have more votes in Congress. In 1790 35% of the population in VA was slave giving them a large population count. The compromise came in the VA Plan where two houses were set up in Congress. The Senate gave each state two Senators and the House was based on population. To eliminate the advantage of slaves in the count each slave was counted as only 3/4 of a person.
