Question

3. What kind of government did the New Jersey Plan propose?

Answer 1

Answer:

c one with a unicameral legislature, an executive committee, and

generally sovereign states

Explanation:

The New Jersey Plan was proposed as a response to the Virginia Plan. Because the Virginia Plan largely favored the larger states, the New Jersey Plan intended the opposite: to favor the smaller states.

For this reason, the plan proposed an unicameral legislature, whose members were apportioned not based on population, but based on state quality. This means that the smaller states and the larger states woud both send the same number of representatives to the unicameral legislature.

It also proposed an executive committee, and less federal power and more state power.

This plan was taken into account in the Connecticut Compromise. This is why the U.S. Senate has two senators from each state, regardless of population size.
