hehehe
Northern states felt that representation in Congress should be based on the number of free people. Southern states believed that representation should be based on total population, which included slaves.
The House of Representatives.
the new jersey plan was an idea for equal representation with all states .it was rejected. because states have representation based on population tis novel idea was probally favored by the smaller, less populated states.....<3...rock on! sewnheartX
The Senate is the house of Congress that is based on equal representation. The House of Representatives is numbered based on the population of the state but the Senate has equal representation for even states with a lower population.
The House of Representatives.
I think it was a plan for government that favored smaller states. There was also the Virginia plan that favored the bigger states. So there was the Great Compromise which combined both those were there will be two houses of government (one house's representation based upon population and the other house's representation based upon equal representation for each state)
It solved the problem of representation in congress because the house of representatives was based on proportional representation (# of representatives based on population) which made the larger states happy and the Senate was based on equal representation (each state got two representatives) which made the small states happy. So each state was represented.
new jersey plan
Representation should be determined by population. While the New Jersey plan proposed representation would be equal for all states. :)
The representation was based on the states population and the amount of money it gave to support the central government.
The Senate would be favored more, because in the senate, regardless of population, any state has two senators. In the House of Representatives, smaller states would have less representation, as it was based upon population.
The New Jersey Plan was much like the old Confederation Congress. Each state had one representative. This favored the small states. In the Virginia Plan, representatives were distributed based on population which favored the big states. The Connecticut Compromise was... a compromise. Each state had 2 in the Senate, and representation in the House is based on population. It helped both the large and small states.
