Chapter 7 Representation: By State or by Population? O
Page 37 Thomas Ladenburg, copyright, 1974, 1998, 2001, 2007 Chapter 7 representation : By State or by Population? ne of the major issues delegates to the Convention had to resolve was how many votes each State should have. Under the articles of confederation , each State had one vote, regardless of size. The states were considered equals. At the Convention, each State had one vote, even though some delegations consisted of three or four people and others only one or two. Some delegates, particularly those from larger states , thought it unfair for each State to have the same number of votes. They thought the states votes should be divided according to population, with the more populous states having more votes than the less populous.
the Articles of Confederation, it must change with the creation of a national government. Under the Articles, the Congress depended completely upon the states to carry out its laws. With the new government we intend to create, however, it would not be fair for the small states to have as much say as the large ones.
