When did New Jersey become a state?

New Jersey was one of the thirteen original colonies forming the United States. The New Jersey Provincial Congress passed the "New Jersey Constitution of 1776" on July 2, 1776. That document effectively declared the Province of a New Jersey to be independent. It also converted the Provincial Congress into the State Legislature, but stated that the new state constitution would be void if New Jersey later achieved a reconciliation with Great Britain. Two days later, July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, which declared that "these United Colonies are, and of a right ought to be, Free and Independent States." On December 18, 1787, New Jersey became the third state to ratify the US Constitution. Thus, one might argue with equal correctness that New Jersey became a US State on July 2, 1776, or on July 4, 1776, or on December 18, 1787.


How did the great compromise solve the problem of reprentation in congress?

The Great Compromise solved the debate created by the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan. The New Jersey Plan was proposed by William Paterson in response to the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan wanted Congress to be based on population; states with larger populations would have more representation. Those states with small populations were against this idea. Their solution was the New Jersey Plan, which would give equal representation to all states. Both the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan were not accepted. Instead, the Connecticut Plan, or the Great Compromise, was adopted. This created two branches in Congress. The Senate, which reflected the New Jersey Plan and gave equal representation to all states, and the House of Representatives, which reflected the Virginia Plan and gave representation to states based on population.

What parts of the New Jersey plan would be used in the Constitution?

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.
