The plan presented at the Constitutional Convention that called for a single-body congress, where each state had one vote regardless of its size, was known as the New Jersey Plan. This plan aimed to ensure equal representation for all states in the legislative process, addressing concerns from smaller states about being overshadowed by larger states in a proposed bicameral legislature. It contrasted with the Virginia Plan, which favored representation based on population. The New Jersey Plan ultimately contributed to the debate that led to the Great Compromise, establishing a bicameral legislature with both equal and proportional representation.
