The New Jersey Plan was a proposal for the structure of the US government presented to the Constitutional Convention by William Patterson. The plan suggested a one vote per state representation under one legislative body.
The New Jersey Plan also suggested that the Articles of Confederation should be amended; that Congress be given authority to raise funds via tariffs and other measures, and to regulate interstate commerce and commerce with other nations; that Congress have the authority to collect taxes; that Congress elect a Federal Executive consisting of several people; that the federal judiciary be represented by a Supreme Tribunal; that a policy should be established for admitting new states; that a policy should be established for naturalization; and that a citizen of one state can be prosecuted under the laws of another state in which the crime was committed.
