The New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan were proposals presented during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The Virginia Plan, favored by larger states, called for a bicameral legislature based on population, which would give more representation to populous states. In contrast, the New Jersey Plan, favored by smaller states, proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state, regardless of size. These plans highlighted the debate over representation that ultimately led to the Great Compromise, establishing a bicameral Congress with both proportional and equal representation.
