The New Jersey Plan was not a Federalist proposal; rather, it was presented as an alternative to the Virginia Plan during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It aimed to maintain a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state, which aligned more with the interests of smaller states. The Federalists generally supported a stronger central government with a bicameral legislature, which favored larger states. Thus, the New Jersey Plan is more associated with the interests of anti-Federalists and smaller states in the debate over the structure of the new government.
