Why did people from larger states (states with more people) want representation to be based on population? what was their argument?

They wanted to have more say in government because they had more people. Their argument was that states with more people to represent needed more say.

Hope this helps!

no statements but ok.

the statement that best describes the idea of manifest destiny that was used in the 19th century would be that "it was fate that the united states would continue to  expand westward," since people thought the us was "destined" to do so. 

its many islands, high mountains, and remote peninsulas isolated population centers.
