US Constitution safeguards rights of all states, irrespective of their size. Constitution provides equal representation to all states in US senate. Every state has two senators. This helps in equating all states and addressing the issue of over powering the big states.
There were different ways the Constitution helped smaller states, there wasnt a a specific plan that worked best for small states. For example, they added a Senate to the constituion, which takes two members from every state, not a certain number of representatives according to the population of the state. This way each state had a fair amount of say in the government, but not too much say that it would harm larger states with larger populations.
Before the Constitution was written there were several different plans made by different people, the best one chosen used a system of checks and balances and allowed the government to have two houses.
Political power. Large population states threatened to overwhelm the voices of the small population states. In addition, if you expand the definition of "large vs small," the economically larger states threaten the economically less wealthy states.
Small states didn't have the population numbers compared to the large so in any vote or situation they would always be out numbered by the large states.

The small states would never agree to a purely representational form of government. They foresaw the annexation of small, ineffective states as the populations of the large states continued to grow and their influence waned.

The bicameral Congress of the United States is a compromise between large and small states. Large states have the advantage in the House because each state's representation is roughly proportional to its population, and small states have the advantage in the Senate because every state has the same representation no matter how large or small it is.
There is a house for both the small states and the big ones.

Virgina plan
The Constitution solved the large state versus small state problem by establishing a bicameral legislature, with all states being equal in the higher house and small states having an edge in the lower house. It also helped by establishing the electoral college for electing presidents.
