New Jersey Plan
It was the New Jersey Plan that proposed the idea of an unicameral legislature with equal representation. It was ultimately rejected.
The document that proposed a unicameral legislature with all states being equal is the Articles of Confederation. Ratified in 1781, it established a national government where each state had one vote in a single legislative body, regardless of its size or population. This structure aimed to promote equality among states but ultimately proved ineffective, leading to calls for a stronger federal government and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
The plan that proposed a two-house legislature with the upper house having equal representation of the states is known as the New Jersey Plan. Introduced in 1787 during the Constitutional Convention, it aimed to amend the Articles of Confederation rather than replace them. The plan suggested that each state would have an equal number of representatives in the Senate, ensuring that smaller states had an equal voice in the legislative process alongside larger states.
The two-house legislature proposal was the Virginia Plan or the Randolph Plan proposed by Edmund Randolph. He was the?ægovernor of Virginia when the proposal was presented.
