By smaller states, we mean the US colonies that had less population than others at the time of the writing of the US Constitution (1787). Less-populous states feared that a legislature based on population would give them little influence. The alternative, with each state having the same number of delegates, would give relatively more power to the fewer citizens of the less populous states.
The compromise was one house of Congress (the Senate) having equal representation for each state, and the other (the House of Representatives) apportioned according to population.

A coalition that comprises at least one party whose seats are not needed to control a majority of seats (50%+1) in the legislature. As opposed to a "Minimum Winning Coalition", in which every coalition partner is needed to control a majority of seats.

There are 338 seats the House of Commons. There are 105 in the Senate, though this can be augmented temporarily by 4 or 8 seats if needed with the Queen's authorization. Parliament also includes the Crown, and thus has a "seat" (the Throne) for the Monarch or the Governor General.
In 1929 Congress passed the Reapportionment Act that allowed a permanent plan for the 435 seats in the House of Representatives to be filled consistently. These seats are to be filled when a census of the people living in the states are completed and are to be based on the numbers.
They have a house of representatives with no term limits. They have a bicameral system just like the federal government and many other similarities with it.
