The tricky part of getting the Constitution ratified was trying to appease every State's complaint and provide for every State's security; the Constitution was about *uniting* the States under the umbrella of federalism while maintaining State sovereignty--imperio in imperium, which was the totally-unique-in-the-whole-world-throughout-time invention of ours (or rather, the Founders.) The "benefit" was to all the States who wanted to be free from British rule, so the Constitution was written in such a way as to include and address *all* the States' concerns to the greatest extent possible while not negatively impacting or offending or disenfranchising any of them, a nearly impossible task.
