The New Jersey Plan featured a one house legislature in which all states were equal.
United States Constitution
The system that featured a one-house legislature in which all states were equal is the Articles of Confederation. Under this framework, each state had one vote in Congress, regardless of its population or size, leading to a unicameral legislature. This structure aimed to ensure equal representation among the states but ultimately proved ineffective in addressing various governance challenges.
The Virginia Plan proposed a bicameral legislature, which would consist of two houses with representation based on population, favoring larger states. In contrast, the New Jersey Plan proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state, which was more favorable to smaller states. Most states in the U.S. currently have a bicameral legislature, similar to the Virginia Plan, except for Nebraska, which has a unicameral legislature.

equal representation between states
I assume you are referring to how the states are represented in the federal legislature. The small states wanted equal representation; that is, they wanted all states, regardless of population size, to have the same number of votes in the congress. The large states argued in favor of proportional representation, where votes would be apportioned by the size of the population. The compromise was, of course, to have a bicameral legislature, one with two houses, one having proportional representation, the other having equal representation.
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, combined the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. The Virginia Plan proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, favoring larger states. In contrast, the New Jersey Plan called for a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state, benefiting smaller states. The compromise established a bicameral legislature with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for all states.
