1. Look at why the people came over here from England in the first place. Wouldn’t you be afraid of a strong government if you came from that kind of background?

2. The main problem with the system of representation by state (meaning that each state gets the same amount of votes) is because the larger states, that had much larger populations, felt as though it was not fair and they were being punished for not having a small population. States such as Virginia felt that if they had a larger population, that they should have a larger percentage of votes. This is why we are now a two house legislature with the senate having equal votes and the congress having it done by population.
