states with smaller populations
States have equal representation in the Senate, where there is a set amount of representatives for each state, rather than a varied number by population.
The United States Constitution
To give each state equality of representation. The House of Representatives is set up to give the states equal representation by population. However, this strict adherence alone would give more populous states more representative power than less populous states. By adding the Senate with two senators from each state the states are equally represented.
The House of Representatives was created so that each state could have apportioned representation. The Senate has a set 100 members, 2 for each state. The House of Representatives has a certain number of members for each state depending on the population. Smaller states has a minimum of 3.
Virgina Plan
Congressional districts. The boundaries are set by the state legislatures, so as to maximize the chance of the legislature's dominant party winning those elections.
A Bell state is one of a set of four entangled states - the simplest examples of entangled states - a concept in quantum information science.
The constitution set up the system of using a census every 10 years to count the population for representatives.
The Jersey Plan was more appealing to the smaller states because it gave better voting conditions based on the fact of them having smaller populations as opposed to Virginia with higher population. Because of Virginia having a higher population the chances of a presidential candidate is dramatically increased by the vote of the larger states.
Slavery vs. non-slavery: the framers outlawed the importation of slaves after 1808 but allowed slavery and the domestic slave trade to continue, and allowed slave States to count each slave as 3/5 of a person for purposes of representation in Congress. Small states vs. large states: the framers set up a bicameral system where one house in Congress was apportioned by population and each State had equal representation in the other house (the Senate).
The only subset of an empty set is the empty set itself.
The founding fathers thought that two houses would protect the rights of the people. It also provided a way of giving small states an equal say in the senate, while allowing the larger population states to feel like they had the advantage in the House of Representatives. The constant requirement to pass bills by both of the groups helps insure that there is less hanky panky going on and fewer deals being made that could hurt the people.
