The government wanted to weaken Native Americans so white settlers could migrate easier. Native Americans needed bison for their hides and sustenance. They also believed bison were sacred animals. Reducing bison weakened Native Americans in numerous ways. They were then forced to move from their locations to reservations so they could survive. The destruction of the bison was also the government's way to control the Native Americans.

The New Jersey Plan was one option as to how the United States would be governed. The Plan called for each state to have one vote in Congress instead of the number of votes being based on population. It was introduced to the Constitutional Convention by William Paterson, a New Jersey delegate, on June 15, 1787.
