Is congress allowed to favor one state over another?
Individual members of Congress certainly are, but the structure of the legislative branch is such that it's not really possible for it to favor one state over another.

The states are given representation proportionate to their populations in the Congress, but each state has two representatives in the Senate regardless of population -- this is intended to make sure there's enough representation for citizens of a large state while citizens of small states aren't drowned out.
