The states were given equil amounts of representation, regardless of the population. That would mean the representation would be based on the individual states, and not the population.
the New Jersey plan had 3 branches (legislatiure, Execultive, judiceal)
the legislature is a unicameral(one house)
it was proposed by William Patterson
this plan was liked by the small population but rejected by the large population states

How did the great compromise solve the problem of reprentation in congress?
The Great Compromise solved the debate created by the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan. The New Jersey Plan was proposed by William Paterson in response to the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan wanted Congress to be based on population; states with larger populations would have more representation. Those states with small populations were against this idea. Their solution was the New Jersey Plan, which would give equal representation to all states. Both the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan were not accepted. Instead, the Connecticut Plan, or the Great Compromise, was adopted. This created two branches in Congress. The Senate, which reflected the New Jersey Plan and gave equal representation to all states, and the House of Representatives, which reflected the Virginia Plan and gave representation to states based on population.
