The New Jersey Plan was much like the old Confederation Congress. Each state had one representative. This favored the small states.

In the Virginia Plan, representatives were distributed based on population which favored the big states.

The Connecticut Compromise was... a compromise. Each state had 2 in the Senate, and representation in the House is based on population. It helped both the large and small states.

The differences between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan were settled through the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise. This agreement, reached during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, established a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House of Representatives (reflecting the Virginia Plan) and equal representation in the Senate (reflecting the New Jersey Plan). This compromise balanced the interests of both larger and smaller states, allowing for a more unified framework for the new government.

What is the purpose of bicameral legislature?

The reason for the bicameral legislature dates back to when The Constitution was written. The New Jersey plan wanted every state to have an equal vote, which favored small states. The Virginia Plan called for representatives, with more populated states getting more representatives. In Congress, the Senate is the New Jersey Plan and the House of Representatives is, obviously, the Virginia plan. I'm not sure, but I believe we elect both.
