Society standards play a very importan role in our lives. Since the beginning of times there have been different society standards for men and women, and we are expected to act a certain way for us to fit into those standards and "be accepted". For instance, women are always expected to be quiet and submisive, to be clean and delicate, to have long hair, wear dresses, shave and always please a man. However, men have less pressure over their shoulder since they are expected to be strong, dominant, they must be hardworking though they are not expected to do anything at home. Sadly they can not show any kind of emotions because that is considered "feminine".
They feared that more populous states would have a sort of monopoly on elections and that it was best for all states to have the exact same powers as other, smaller states.
