In 1790, New Jersey may have favored a system where each state had the same number of votes in the nation's legislature due to concerns about state sovereignty and equal representation. This system, known as equal representation in the Senate, ensured that smaller states like New Jersey had a voice in the legislative process and could protect their interests against larger states. Additionally, this system was a compromise reached during the Constitutional Convention to balance the interests of both small and large states in forming a more perfect union.

The Great Compromise addressed the issue of representation in the legislature. New Jersey favored a set number of representatives regardless of population. Virginia favored a population based system. The Great Compromise established a two body Legislative Branch of Federal government.

Parliamentary Model
All states in the United States have bicameral legislatures except for Nebraska, which has a unicameral legislature. Nebraska's legislature, known as the Nebraska Legislature or Unicameral, is unique in that it consists of a single chamber with no separate house or senate. This system was established to promote efficiency and reduce the influence of special interests.

You mean bicameral legislature, and it is a two house system of representation being the house of representatives (the number of representatives here are based on a states population) and the senate (in which every state gets two representatives).
In a parliamentary system, the legislature is responsible for electing the executive, typically through a vote of confidence in the prime minister. In contrast, in a presidential system, the executive is elected separately from the legislature by the public, ensuring that the executive does not depend on legislative support for their election. Thus, the presidential system is an example where the legislature is not responsible for electing the executive.

The smallest state legislature in the United States is that of Nebraska, which has a unicameral system with just 49 members in its legislature. In contrast, the largest state legislature is that of California, which has a bicameral system consisting of 120 members in the Assembly and 40 members in the Senate, totaling 160 legislators.
The New Jersey Plan did not propose a strong national government with extensive powers. Instead, it aimed for a unicameral legislature where each state would have equal representation, regardless of its population. It also did not advocate for a system of checks and balances, which was a key feature of the later Constitution. Lastly, it did not suggest a system of proportional representation, which was a hallmark of the opposing Virginia Plan.

The plan in which all states were represented equally in the legislature is known as the New Jersey Plan. Proposed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, it aimed to maintain the structure of the Articles of Confederation by providing each state with one vote in a unicameral legislature, regardless of population size. This plan was favored by smaller states that feared losing influence in a system based on population. Ultimately, a compromise led to the creation of a bicameral legislature, balancing both proportional and equal representation.
