Question

In the New Jersey Plan, the number of legislators in the house would be determined by what?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each state would get one vote in Congress

Explanation:

The plan argued for increasing the power of the federal government to correct problems with the Articles of Confederation, but maintaining the single house of Congress which existed under the Articles of Confederation.

In Paterson's plan, each state would get one vote in Congress, so there would be equal power divided among states regardless of population.

Paterson's plan had features beyond the apportionment argument, such as the creation of a Supreme Court and the right of the federal government to tax imports and regulate trade. But the greatest difference from the Virginia Plan was over the issue of apportionment: the allocating of legislative seats based on population.
