there are several parts:
1) Planning
2) Creation
3) Establishment of the new jerse plan
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.
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.
Yes, Native Americans have historically inhabited parts of New Jersey. Various tribes, such as the Lenape, were present in the region long before European colonization. Today, there are still Native American communities in New Jersey, preserving their heritage and culture.
You would be advised to read the U.S. Constitution itself.
They were written to explain the Constitution to the representatives who would be voting on it. It is the best source in understanding what the Constitution means.
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.
Those parts together would be the whole Constitution...
Please provide the specific parts of the U.S. Constitution and their descriptions that you would like me to match.
If the Constitution was based on the New Jersey plan, there would be a unicameral (one-house) Congress, not bicameral (two-house) like we have today. We would only have a Senate, and the House of Representatives would not exist.
The delegates to the Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia, PA drafted the United States Constitution. Three plans were presented to the delegates--the New Jersey Plan, the Virginia Plan, and Hamilton's Plan. The delegates finally accepted what came to be known as "The Great Compromise" which took parts from the New Jersey and Virginia plans. The delegates realized that compromise agreements would be necessary if they were to draft a new constitution for the nation. On Monday, August 6, 1787, the convention accepted the first draft of the Constitution. MrV
Someone would make term limit parts of the constitution by votes. This happens is the latest vapid political season.
When the United States Constitution was being drafted in 1787, the New Jersey Plan was an option proposed by William Paterson, a New Jersey delegate. The Plan called for only one house of Congress with each state to have one vote in Congress.

i would have not changed the constitution in 1787.
