When writing the US Constitution, the New Jersey plan for the US legislature would have given each state equal representation without regard to population. This would give greater influence to citizens of the less populous states than a legislature apportioned by population (both houses under the Virginia Plan). Under the Connecticut Compromise (The Great Compromise), states have equal representation in the Senate but apportioned representation in the House of Representatives.
*The unicameral plan previously used under the Articles of Confederation gave each state one vote in the legislature, which proved extremely problematic in practice.

The New Jersey Plan was made as an alternative to the Virginia Plan, which provided for a central government with representation by population.
