Why do some state have more representatives than other states?

The amount of representatives is based on the population of the state. If your state is more populated, you will receive a larger number of representatives. This is to even out the playing field. If you have two states and one has a population of 1,000,000 while the other has a population of 1,000 yet you only allow the same number of representatives to represent all the citizens in both states, that is unfair. However, this is also unfair to the less populated states because they won't have as many representatives as the more populated states. So to compromise, the Senate was created, where each state is given two senators to report to the Senate. The Senate is also given more power than the House of Representatives for this reason.
