The Virginia and New Jersey Plans were proposed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 to resolve the conflict over how states should be represented in the new federal government. The Virginia Plan advocated for representation based on population, favoring larger states, while the New Jersey Plan called for equal representation for each state, favoring smaller states. The conflict was ultimately resolved with the Connecticut Compromise, which established a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House of Representatives and equal representation in the Senate. This compromise balanced the interests of both large and small states in the new Constitution.

The Great Compromise which made two houses of Congress where one was represented by population (House of Representatives) and an equal representation (Senate) to create a double house system
The Great Compromise resolved the dispute over the New Jersey and Virginia plans. The Virginia Plan wanted representation to go by population. The House of Representatives resolved this issue, using population to determine how many representatives a state would receive. The New Jersey Plan wanted equal representation for all states. The Senate resolved this issue by allowing the same number of representatives to all states, regardless of their size.

The New Jersey Plan
The Virginia Plan, New Jersey Plan, and Great Compromise addressed the issue of representation in the legislative branch of the new government. The Virginia Plan proposed representation based on population, favoring larger states, while the New Jersey Plan called for equal representation for each state, favoring smaller states. The Great Compromise ultimately resolved this conflict by creating a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for each state. This compromise was crucial in facilitating the formation of the U.S. Constitution.
