jan 1, 61815 - New Jersey plan vs. Virginia Plan
Description:
New Jersey plan:-Equal representation
-One-body legislature
James Madison Virginia Plan:
-a bicameral legislature (two branches: Senate and HOR)
-representation based on population!
They had difficulty agreeing especially since the South would favor the Virginia plan because they had a higher population which would mean more representation. This would later on be solved by the Great Compromise.
