The New Jersey Plan, The Virginia Plan, and the Great Compromise! :)
New Jersey Plan
The New Jersey Plan (APEX)
I believe it is James Madison
True.
This was not an issue presented at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 in Philadelphia. It was an issue that came about later and was resolved with the 3/5 compromise. Each slave was counted as 3/5 a person for census/taxation purposes. Good Luck!
The New Jersey Plan, The Virginia Plan, and the Great Compromise! :)
The delegates include; Randolph who had presented the Virginia Plan, Rutledge and Wilson who had been the key in crafting the compromise on representation, Ellsworth who had led small states during the battle over per-state voting in the Senate, and Gorham who had chaired the Committee, where he called for compromise during the bitter debate over representation.

Virginia and New Jersey
At the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Madison drafted the plan presented by Virginia Governor Randolph, and William Patterson of _______ presented a plan that was similar to the Articles of Confederation.
The plan presented at the Constitutional Convention that called for a single-body congress, where each state had one vote regardless of its size, was known as the New Jersey Plan. This plan aimed to ensure equal representation for all states in the legislative process, addressing concerns from smaller states about being overshadowed by larger states in a proposed bicameral legislature. It contrasted with the Virginia Plan, which favored representation based on population. The New Jersey Plan ultimately contributed to the debate that led to the Great Compromise, establishing a bicameral legislature with both equal and proportional representation.
The Virginia Plan was a proposal presented at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, advocating for a strong national government with a bicameral legislature. It suggested that representation in both houses of Congress be based on state population, benefiting larger states. This plan aimed to replace the Articles of Confederation and establish a more centralized federal system. Ultimately, it laid the groundwork for the debate over representation that led to the Great Compromise.
The goal was to strengthen the national government and to limit its power.
The Virginia plan
The New Jersey delegate who presented the small state plan was William Paterson. This plan, introduced at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, aimed to maintain equal representation for states regardless of their population size, countering the Virginia Plan, which favored larger states. Paterson's proposal ultimately contributed to the Great Compromise, leading to the current bicameral legislative structure in the United States.
The New Jersey Plan was a proposal presented at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that aimed to create a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state, regardless of population size. It sought to amend the Articles of Confederation rather than replace them, emphasizing the need to protect the interests of smaller states against the dominance of larger ones. The plan ultimately influenced discussions on federal representation, leading to the Great Compromise.
