The New Jersey or ( Paterson ) plan was introduced By William Paterson a delegate from New Jersey as an attempt to equalize the representation of the states ( small states having less representatives than larger ones ) by giving each state one vote in a unicameral congress.
When the United States Constitution was being drafted in 1787, the New Jersey Plan was an option proposed by William Paterson, a New Jersey delegate. The Plan called for only one house of Congress with each state to have one vote in Congress instead of the number of votes being based on population. The New Jersey Plan was made as an alternative to the Virginia Plan, which provided for a central government with representation by population.
