New Jersey Plan
The states with small population wanted the same amount of representatives in the government. The states with larger population wanted to have more say in the government because they had more people. So they compromised and Then there were 2 houses of government.
The small states would never agree to a purely representational form of government. They foresaw the annexation of small, ineffective states as the populations of the large states continued to grow and their influence waned.
A federating unit in the field of Politics and Government is the constituent unit of a federation, which is a form of government with division of powers between a common central government and small constituent federating units called states, cantons etc.
