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.
