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.
