Answer 2

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The New Jersey Plan, or The Small State Plan or Paterson Plan, was presented by William Paterson on June 15, 1787, as a proposal for the structure of the U.S. Government. It was delivered at the Constitutional Convention. This plan mentioned that there would be two houses, and representatives would be chosen according to the number of people who lived in each state. Of course, the less populous states were opposed to the plan because it meant to give control to the more populous states.
