Question

The New Jersey Plan

Answer 1

Answer:

D. expanded the taxation and regulatory powers of Congress

Explanation:

The new Jersey plan supported  the less populated states and suggested that each state should have equal number of representatives in the government. The supporters of New Jersey didn't consider it fair to give less power to the state with less population.

The delegates of small states of Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Delaware agreed to the New Jersey plan. It was drafted by William Paterson and presented to the constitutional convention on June 158, 1787 and proposed that the government should have three branches and unicameral. It also gave power to the Congress to raise money and regulate trade.
