The plan proposed to keep the unilateral legislature was the "New Jersey Plan," which aimed to maintain a single legislative body with equal representation for each state, regardless of population size. This approach was favored by smaller states that feared losing influence in a system based on proportional representation. The plan sought to amend the Articles of Confederation rather than create a new constitution, emphasizing a more centralized government while preserving state sovereignty. Ultimately, this proposal was debated during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, leading to the eventual compromise that formed the basis of the current U.S. Congress.
