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. Since members of congress are elected by their congressional districts, and individual senators are elected by the citizens of their state, it's natural that these members would favor their own constituencies over others. 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.

How did the great compromise satisfy both the small and the large?

The Great Compromise settled the method of representation in the legislative branch (the US Congress). Small states wanted equal representation (equality by state), and large states wanted representation based on population (equality by vote). Under the compromise, all states were represented equally in the Senate. This made the smaller states happy. In the House of Representatives, representation was based on population. This pleased the bigger states.
