Many Loyalists felt that independence was bound to come eventually but they were fearful that revolution might lead to anarchy tyranny or mob rule in contrast the prevailing attitude among Patriots was a desire to seize the initiative. Labaree also wrote that Loyalists were pessimists who lacked the confidence in the future displayed by the Patriots, When the Constitution was ratified in 1787 the ratio of the populations of large states to small states was roughly twelve to one the Connecticut Compromise gave every state large and small an equal vote in the Senate. Since each state has two senators residents of smaller states have more clout in the Senate than residents of larger states But since 1787 the population disparity between large and small states has grown; in 2006 for example California had seventy times the population of Wyoming. Critics such as constitutional scholar Sanford Levinson have suggested that the population disparity works against residents of large states and causes a steady redistribution of resources from "large states to small states". However others argue that the Connecticut Compromise was deliberately intended by the Founding Fathers to construct the Senate so that each state had equal footing not based on population and contend that the result works well on balance.
