The visual metaphor to represent this includes a giant round table with a space for each state, symbolizing equal representation irrespective of size or population.

Please remember, no text should be included in the image.

Under the Articles, each state sent one delegate to Congress. Thus each state, no matter its size or population, had one vote. Congress did have the power to declare war. It could appoint military officers, coin money, and operate post offices. It was also responsible for foreign affairs and could sign treaties.
