The small colonies supported the New Jersey Plan. They favored this plan because it proposed a Congress that was unicameral (having one house) and each state would have the same number of representatives or votes.
The smaller states benefited from the New Jersey plan because the number of representitves didn't depend on the population. The exact states...not usually listed in history books so I assume that's the best answer. If in doubt, pick up a state map, and pick out the smaller states from the original thriteen.
New Jersey Plan
Virginia favored the Virginia plan and New Jersey favored the New Jersey plan
The Virginia Plan favored mostly the larger states because it was based on population. The New Jersey Plan favored smaller states because each state represented equally.
They favored the New Jersey plan because it said they would get one Representative no matter the population of the state. In the Virginia plan, states got seats in the house based on the population of the state.
The Senate would be favored more, because in the senate, regardless of population, any state has two senators. In the House of Representatives, smaller states would have less representation, as it was based upon population.

senate
The New Jersey Plan stated that all states would be represented by and equal number of legislators. This is great for small states but would not be enough representation for states with larger populations.

South Carolina supported the Virginia Plan, which proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population size. This plan favored larger states like South Carolina, as it would give them more influence in the national government compared to the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation for all states.
under the new jersey plan,the united states would remain a loose confederation (({Novanet})) <3
Without this plan then the small states of the US would have most likely disappeared. They would barely have a say in government. This proposal also made a balance for elections.
They would be represented equally.
