What does Article 1 to the U.S. Constitution do?

Article I of the Constitution covers the legislative branch of the Federal Government, which is Congress. Article I establishes how Congress is structured (House of Representatives and Senate), how representation in each house is determined, the qualifications of office for Representatives and Senators, how a bill becomes a law, the rights, powers and immunities of each house and/or its members, that a census must be taken every ten years, the powers of Congress, the powers denied to Congress, and the powers denied to the states. Article I is also where the Great Compromise is found (concerning representation), as well as the now-defunct Three-Fifths Compromise, which declared a slave to be three-fifths of a white man for purposes of representation in the House of Representatives.


Who would have been happier with their representation in the senate small states or large states and why?

The physical size of states, small or large, was irrelevant.The size of their populations, however, determined their representation in the lower house of Congress. So states with larger populations are better represented in the House, where the number of representatives is apportioned by population, than in the Senate where each state is represented equally by two Senators.

How was representation to be determined in the upper house?

In the context of the United States Constitution, representation in the upper house, or Senate, was determined by equal representation for each state, regardless of its population size. This means that each state, whether large or small, would have two senators, ensuring that all states had an equal voice in the legislative process. This arrangement was reached during the Constitutional Convention as a compromise between larger states, which favored representation based on population, and smaller states, which sought equal representation.

In the United States, representation in the House is based on population, as determined by the Census. Which is what makes the Census such a big deal; with a fixed number of representatives, if one state loses population while another gains, that state may lose a representative to the other state!
