This is incorrect. The founders were quite concerned about large vs small population provinces, and that is one of the lessons in basic civics courses and in books on the founding.

Here's another fun fact Gar. The word is Colonies. British Colonies who revolted against their King. They objected to the 4% tax that was used to fight King George's foreign wars, among other things. The power to elect a President was NOT given to Congress for fear of them becoming King makers. Which Colony did you assume to have the largest political influence. New York? Virginia? North Carolina? You're not from here, are you?
Except that the States were not ratified at the time the electoral college was established.. There was no population census. It was not a leveler of State populations, as you were told. Get a map, a copy of the Constitution, and Google some dates. Then think for yourself. The system was perverted into the cluster we have today, but that is in no way what it was devised to be. One vote for every citizen. Delegates were chosen by their neighbors, not a party.
Everyone knew which states were larger in population and which smaller. I can't believe you wrote "the States were not ratified..." That is astonishingly historically illiterate.
