The People give the government power, and the constitution states this. The A.O.C. ( Articles of Confederation ) gave more power to the states, in which the states would make their own money, people chose if they wanted to pay taxes, and created a weak central government. Now, with the constitution, this would change.
States were given the power to decide for themselves how their electors would be chosen. I think it was assumed that state legislatures would chose the electors . Such a procedure would give the elected officials more power.
The states
The Virginia Plan, in having a unicameral legislature whose delegates are assigned by population (much like having just the House of Representatives), favored large states, because their large populations would give them power.

the legislative branch. or maybe the powers of the big states versus the powers of the small states.it determined that the legislative branch would be split into two houses. The House of Representatives was created to please the large states and give them power. The Senate was created to please the small states and give them power.
