William Paterson, a New Jersey representative, proposed the "New Jersey Plan" as a way to provide fair representation of people of each state to Congress. Eventually, his plan was incorporated in the formation of the bicameral Congress, where every state has two Senators in the senate. The Three Fifths (Virginia) plan was an alternative, which counted Blacks as three-fifths of a person (whites counted as one) for purposes of representation. At the time, the northern states had a larger population and the southern slave owners were concerned about representation. Was he happy about the compromise? I could not find a specific comment, but in terms of today's politics, he did get some of what he wanted for the people of his state and of the country that was formed.
