Question

How did the Articles of Confederation equalize power among the states? Each state had votes based on their population only. Each state had two standard votes, and then some votes based on size. Each state had one vote, so smaller states were equal with larger states. Each state had some votes based on population and some based on size.

Answer 1

The main way in which the Articles of Confederation equalized power among the states was that "Each state had one vote, so smaller states were equal with larger states". This of course cause problems for the larger states, who viewed it as an unfair practice. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is each state had one vote, so smaller states were equal with larger states.

The Articles of Confederation was America's first constitution after separating from Great Britain. This constitution was made with a weak central (federal) government based on America's experience with Great Britain. Along with this, the Articles of Confederation made it so that each state had equal power regardless of population size. This was considered one of the flaws of the Articles of Confederation, as a state with millions of people had the same power as a state with just a hundred thousand people.
