It was a plan to give every state an equal amount of representation. New Jersey established this plan in opposition to the Virginia Plan which wanted to give states representation based on population and the wealth of the citizens. They both wanted unicameral legislatives, and the Connecticut Compromise came in and proposed to have a bicameral legislature (Senate and House of Reps).
