Bigger states had more power because they had more land population and power was given by landmass and population. "Equal voting power in Congress"

Equal voting power in Congress led to a serious dispute between the large and small states under the Articles of Confederation. Option B is correct.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the power of the national government was exclusively centered in the Congress. The “Congress of the Confederation” under the Articles, was based on the institutions of the Second Continental Congress and, as such, was a unicameral body where each state had one vote.
