Question

Which of the following did the New Jersey plan help most?

Answer 1

The Small States plan created by William Paterson at the Philadelphia Convention on June 15, 1787.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C. The New Jersey Plan mostly helped small states.

Explanation:

The New Jersey Plan was proposed by William Paterson at the Constitutional Convention of June 15, 1787. The plan was created in response to the Virginia Plan.

Under the New Jersey Plan, the states would have equal representation, regardless of population, in an unicameral Congress.

The New Jersey Plan was rejected by the new Constitution. The Virginia Plan was approved, and some New Jersey plan projects were added to the new Constitution. In the Senate, each state would be equally represented, by two senators each, while the House of Representatives seats were distributed according to the population, which happens every 10 years.
