The Virginia and New Jersey Plans, proposed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, both aimed to address the structure of the United States government. They shared the goal of creating a stronger federal government than what existed under the Articles of Confederation. Additionally, both plans included provisions for a legislative body, although they differed significantly in their approaches to representation—Virginia advocating for representation based on population, while New Jersey called for equal representation for each state.
Both Virginia and New Jersey plans called for a government with 3 branches.
