Question

Which would you have supported the Jersey Plan or the Virginia Plan and why?

Answer 1

Hi There!!

I think I might support The Jersey Plan, because The New Jersey Plan was supported by the states of New York, Connecticut, Delaware, and New Jersey. It proposed a unicameral legislature with one vote per state. Paterson and supporters wanted to reflect the equal representation of states, thus enabling equal power. Even though the Virginia Plan have a larger population and the Jersey Plan have a smaller population. And, the only problem that the  The Virginia Plan was supported by the larger states because of the resolution for proportional representation. This meant that the more people a state has, the more representatives it gets in the legislature.

Well, Hope this explanation helps!!

Answer 2

Answer:

The New Jersey Plan was a proposal for the

structure of the United States Government

proposed by William Paterson on June 15,

1787. The plan was created in response to the

Virginia Plan's call for two houses of

Congress, both elected with proportional

representation.[1] The less populous states

were adamantly opposed to giving most of

the control of the national government to the

larger states, and so proposed an alternate

plan that would have given one vote per state

for equal representation under one legislative body
