The answer is D.

William Patterson’s “New Jersey Plan” supported giving each state and equal amount of votes. Instead of the plan we use today which states that each state has the same number of senators and different numbers of congressmen (House of Representatives) based on the population of each state.

The reason why smaller states approved of this plan is because if each state has an equal amount of representatives, then the smaller states will be equal to states that have larger population. This plan is similar to The Articles to the Confederation. Which we know was not successful. Fortunately, people did not support this plan because they believed that this plan would make the national government they wanted weak.
