What plan provided for equal state representation in a unicameral Congress?

The New Jersey Plan proposed a unicameral Congress in which each state would have equal representation, regardless of population size. This plan was introduced during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 as a response to the Virginia Plan, which suggested representation based on population. Supporters of the New Jersey Plan aimed to ensure that smaller states had an equal voice in the legislative process, reflecting the desire for a federal structure that would balance the interests of both populous and less populous states. This approach was particularly significant because it addressed concerns about fairness and equity in representation, ultimately leading to discussions that culminated in the Great Compromise, which created a bicameral legislature with a mix of representation strategies.
