The New Jersey plan called for a one-house legislature with each state having an equal number of legislators. This plan was rejected because with there being more small states than large, it would have given the lesser populated states more power. In the final version of the Constitution, Congress would have a bicameral (two house) legislature, but the Senate was modeled after the New Jersey plan, each state having two Senators.
