The right answer is a. to prevent one branch of the government from becoming too powerful.

The Constitution was an entirely new document that emerged delineating separate executive, legislative, and judicial branches, a convention that resolved counter centralized power with checks and balances. The argument about representation was resolved by establishing a two-house Congress, with equal representation by state in the Senate and by population in the House of Representatives.
