Type your answer here.Which plan called for two houses in the legislature, one where states would have equal representation and one where representation would be in proportion to population..
A legislature with two branches is a legislature that consists of two groups, both of which must agree before a law can be passed. The US Congress is an example of a Legislative assembly with two branches. One branch, or house, is the US Senate; the other is the US House of Representatives.
Not EqualFirst of all, the Senate and the House of Representatives are NOT equal. The Senate gives all states only 2 representatives. The House has representatives based on a state's population. This happened because of the Great Compromise of 1787, which was made by Roger Sherman after small and large states had arguments over government state representation.
Connecticut Compromise
The national legislature of the United States is the U.S. Congress, comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The New Jersey was proposed during the writing of the Constitution. It included a one-house legislature that had the same amount of representatives per state regardless of population. Small states liked the plan because it kept their power the same as the larger states.
The New Jersey Plan featured a unicameral (single house) legislature. Each state would send a single representative to the legislature.
