Answer 1

Virginia Plan--3. Called for bicameral legislature; 5. Called for proportional representation; 6. Was supported by larger states

New Jersey Plan--1. Called for equal representation; 2. Was supported by smaller states; 4. Called for a unicameral legislature

The Virginia and New Jersey Plans were proposals of how to handle the issue of a federal legislature and how representation would be determined for the legislature. The Virginia Plan called for two houses: an upper and lower and representation based on population. This plan would best serve the states with larger populations because they would have more say in the government. However, this plan would shut out the voices of smaller states. The New Jersey Plan suggested a one house legislature with each state having equal representation. Essentially they wanted to keep the same system created under the Articles of Confederation. This would give all states a say but not all voices would be counted. Ultimately, the Connecticut Compromise or Great Compromise settled the issue by creating a bi-cameral or two house legislature with one house having equal representation and the other house having representation based on population.

Answer 2

The Virginia Plan:

• Called for a bicameral legislature
• Called for proportional representation
• Was supported by larger states

meanwhile, the New Jersey Plan:

• Called for a unicameral legislature
• Called for equal representation
• Was supported by smaller states

The bicameral legislative system is one that contains two legislative houses. The houses are often referred to as lower and upper houses or larger and smaller chambers. One of these, (the lower/larger) is chosen by the population in the popular vote. The other varies but are sometimes elected, commonly by the members of the lower house and more often appointed by leading members of government.

The issue of representation being equal or proportional, leads directly to which states supported which plan. The Virginia plan was built around the idea of the bicameral legislature and stated that representation would be proportional to a state's population. This gave the larger states a clear advantage in legislative power. On the other hand, the New Jersey plan argued for a unicameral system in which representation would be equal among all states. This was clearly the favorable option for states with smaller population sizes.

This is why the smaller states supported the New Jersey plan, which called for a unicameral legislature with equal representation, and the larger states supported the Virginia plan, which fought for a bicameral system with proportional representation.
