unconsequential

Gunning Bedford of Delaware objected to proportional representation in the national legislature “because an undue Weight is intended to be given to some States — Pennsylvania and Virginia are intended to have one third of Representation — The smaller States will be so unconsequential in the general Scale that their Interests will be uniformly sacrificed whenever they are adverse to those of larger States, and the Voice of the solitary Member from Delaware it is not probable will be attended to.”

The acts are in themselves unconsequential—they are but the product of a diseased mind or an indifferent training.

She loved the luxury of costly costumes, the odor of beautiful flowers, the sparkle of diamonds and the careless gaiety and unconsequential chatter of the people of her own set.

Nothing, however, is to be perfect in this world, and Paul Veronese's fine view of the suffering martyr has not size enough for the place; and is beside crowded with small unconsequential figures, which cannot be distinguished at a distance.
