How does the allocation of representatives differ between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan?

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.


Who did the Virginia plan benefit?

favored large states, many people.


Why are there the same numbers in the US Senate for each State?

The bicameral Congress of the United States is a compromise between large and small states. Large states have the advantage in the House because each state's representation is roughly proportional to its population, and small states have the advantage in the Senate because every state has the same representation no matter how large or small it is.


What argument did the large and small states have at the constitutional convention amd how was it resolved?

Their debate was on how each State would be represented in the Congress. Large states wanted to have the Number of representatives based upon the Population and the small states wanted it to be equal number for each state. The answer was to have a Congress made up of 2 Houses: (A) House of Representativves based upon a State's population and (B) Congress which has equal senators elected from each state.


Who would have been happier with their representation in the senate small states or large states and why?

The physical size of states, small or large, was irrelevant.The size of their populations, however, determined their representation in the lower house of Congress. So states with larger populations are better represented in the House, where the number of representatives is apportioned by population, than in the Senate where each state is represented equally by two Senators.
