Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The New Jersey Plan was supported by less-populous states. It proposed a unicameral legislative body with equal representation for each state, regardless of population size. This plan was seen as a compromise between the larger, more populous states who favored the Virginia Plan (which proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population) and the smaller states who feared being overshadowed by the larger ones.
