New+Jersey+Plan


 * New Jersey Plan **

The New Jersey Plan said that each state ,large or small, would have the same number of representatives. In this way all the states would have equal power.It was proposed by a New Jersey delegate named William Paterson. He argued for his plan in this way : " There is no more reason that a great individual state, contributing much, should have more votes than a small one, contributing little, than a rich individual citizen should have more votes than a [poor] one."
