To be honest, I dont know. I'm actually not an American. :)
But If i had to pick one major event...it would be making George Washington the president.
To explane.
George Washington's presidentsy in a way made America, in some aspects, what it is today.
Now imagine if he was not made a president but chose to be a dictator. I know its funny and my nest statement is going to be even funnier.
Assassins Creed 3: The rule of King George did a decadent job in imagining and explaning this. I recommend reading its plot, I think you would find it interesting. Its full of what ifs and alternative history events.
Sorry for not giving my version but its a bit hard for me to imagine something like that.

Answer:
The smaller population states have more power by using the Electoral College than they would otherwise.
Explanation:
The Electoral College of the United States is made up of electors who elect the President and Vice President of the United States. The Constitution determines how many voters each state has; in practice, the number is the same as the total numebr of congressmen that each state has.
Voters do not directly elect the President and Vice President of the United States, but vote through the constituencies of their own state. Voters can, in principle, vote for any candidate, but in practice undertake to vote for a particular candidate, and thus voters know how to cast their vote through their constituents for their own candidate. This is an example of an indirect election method.
The smaller popularion states tend to support the electoral college more emphatically than the larger population states, since this voting mechanism implies an equalization in the proportion of votes by the smaller states with respect to the larger states. Otherwise, if it were the case of direct vote by citizens, four or five states could be decisive, leaving other citizens on a secondary level.
