The constitutional provisions for constitutional amendment make it highly unlikely that small states will lose their formal powers -- at some stage, change requires consent of 2/3 of state legislatures or U.S. senators.

Also, the census of 1790 showed a population of 3.9 million, making it unlikely that the 1787 population was 2 million.
