During the Philadelphia Convention in 1787, Delaware threatened to withdraw from the proceedings if their interests were not adequately protected, particularly regarding the representation of smaller states. They feared that a system favoring larger states would undermine their influence in the new government. This threat highlighted the tension between small and large states, ultimately leading to the Great Compromise, which established a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House and equal representation in the Senate.
