The larger states should have been happier because they have larger populations that the smaller states. Since "the numbers of representatives shall not exceed for every thirty thousand". The larger states would have more people representing them than the smaller states would.

The Constitution provides for proportional representation in the U.S. House of Representatives and the seats in the House are apportioned based on state population according to the constitutionally mandated Census.
To be elected, a representative must be at least 25 years old, a United States citizen for at least seven years and an inhabitant of the state he or she represents. Go to the Clerk's site for more information about representatives.
The House of Representatives is made up of 435 elected members, divided among the 50 states in proportion to their total population.
Senators represent their entire states, but members of the House represent individual districts. The number of districts in each state is determined by a state's population. Today, Congress consists of 100 senators (two from each state) and 435 voting members of the House of Representatives.
The number of electors each state gets is equal to its total number of Senators and Representatives in Congress. A total of 538 electors form the Electoral College. Each elector casts one vote following the general election. The candidate who gets 270 votes or more wins.
There are currently 435 voting representatives.
Apportionment in the United States involves dividing the 435 voting seats every ten years. As per Article One of the United States Constitution, elections to the House of Representatives are held every two years, and districts are apportioned amongst the states according to their respective numbers.
The number of voting seats in the House of Representatives has been 435 since 1913, capped at that number by the Reapportionment Act of 1929—except for a temporary (1959–1962) increase to 437 when Alaska and Hawaii were admitted into the Union.
