New Jersey Plan
New Jersey Plan.
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.
No, only Nebraska has a Unicameral legislature.
No, most US states have a bicameral legislature, with two legislative bodies/chambers. A unicameral legislature has a single body/chamber. Nebraska switched to a unicameral legislature in 1934 and is the only US state to currently have a unicameral legislature.
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.
