Because James Madison likes Small Things, and the New Jersey plan focused on giving the smaller states equal power to the larger and more populated.
James Madison was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, and the country's 4th President. Madison was against the New Jersey Plan, and had his own plan, the Virginia Plan.
William Patterson introduced the resolution. It is not clear if he wrote it on his own.

The New Jersey plan does not favor Delaware. 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. The New Jersey Plan was opposed by the less populous states. The New Jersey Plan was supported by William Patterson, governor of New Jersey. Opposition was led by James Madison and Edmund Randolph (the proponents of the Virginia state Plan).
Jersey plan
Many of the larger states that knew they would get better representation voted in favor of this, such as New York and other densely populated areas. The supporters of the New Jesey plan were smaller staes, because the New Jersey Plan offered equal represenation. Small states such as Delaware preferred this plan much more.
