unicameral
So Congress would have two houses.
Unicameral and Bicameral house
New Jersey Plan
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.
A one part legislature is unicameral as opposed to a twwo part system, like Congress, which is bicameral.
New Jersey Plan
New Jersey
If the Constitution was based on the New Jersey plan, there would be a unicameral (one-house) Congress, not bicameral (two-house) like we have today. We would only have a Senate, and the House of Representatives would not exist.
The Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise, was a combination of the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. The Virginia Plan proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, favoring larger states, while the New Jersey Plan called for a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state, favoring smaller states. The compromise established a bicameral Congress, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for each state.
The Virginia plan
The Virginia Plan called for a bicameral (two house) congress, in which a state's population would determine its number of representatives, however like under the Articles of Confederation every state would only have one vote. The New Jersey.called for a unicameral (one house) congress, in which each state would have equal representation. The New Jersey Plan also called for a separate Executive and Judicial branch, which the Articles of Confederation and the Virginia Plan did not call for.
