States with a smaller population were probably happier with the old Articles of Confederation.
Further Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation was America's first system of government after becoming free from British rule. The goal of this constitution was to give very little power to the central (aka federal) government. Americans wanted a small central government because while they were colonists under the control of Great Britain, there was a tyrannical/too powerful central government that caused them to rebel.
In order to do this, they create a federal government with just a legislative branch (aka Congress). In Congress, each state had one delegate. This made smaller states like New Jersey, Delaware, etc. happy because they had much smaller populations in comparison to states like Virginia. However, they had just as much political power and influence in Congress as these larger states.
Ultimately, the Articles of Confederation proved to be a highly ineffective form of government. This is why the Constitutional Convention was called. This lead to the creation of the US Constitution we have today.
