Federal representation refers to the system by which elected officials represent the interests and needs of citizens at the national level within a federal government structure. This typically involves representatives, such as members of Congress in the United States, who are elected to advocate for the concerns of their constituents, participate in the creation of laws, and ensure that diverse regional interests are considered in national policy. The aim is to balance power between the central government and individual states or regions, promoting democratic participation and accountability.

What are the good and bad aspects of equal representation?
I assume you are referring to how the states are represented in the federal legislature. The small states wanted equal representation; that is, they wanted all states, regardless of population size, to have the same number of votes in the congress. The large states argued in favor of proportional representation, where votes would be apportioned by the size of the population. The compromise was, of course, to have a bicameral legislature, one with two houses, one having proportional representation, the other having equal representation.
