The main point of disagreement between supporters of the Virginia and New Jersey plans centered on the structure of the legislative branch. The Virginia Plan advocated for a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, favoring larger states, while the New Jersey Plan proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state, favoring smaller states. This fundamental debate reflected deeper issues of state sovereignty and the balance of power in the new government. Ultimately, it led to the Great Compromise, which established a mixed system of representation.
