There were two plans suggested for the representation in Congress.
One was the Virginia Plan, and the other was the New Jersey plan. The Virginia plan suggested that the states should get representation based on their population, and the New Jersey plan suggested the states would get equal representation.
Smaller states of course would favor the New Jersey plan, because they didn't want to lose power in Congress.
They ended up compromising on this. They made the House of Representatives, which used the Virginia plan, and the Senate, which used the New Jersey plan. (The Senate has more power than the House of Reps)
It helped them with trade, and also gave their army manh roads to use. They could trade and go to war with virtually anyone. They are also the first example of modern roads we see in ancient times.
The government stays out of affairs and lets the market mange itself. In this vien, Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” is the idea that there is an invisible force or hand that drives and manages the economy. People who subscribe to this form of economic thought usually favor small government intervention...they think the market will take care of itself and doesn’t need government subsidies, regulation, etc.
