The New Jersey Plan was created to favor which group?

The New Jersey Plan was designed to favor small states by advocating for a unicameral legislature in which each state would have an equal vote, regardless of its population size. This proposal was introduced as a response to the Virginia Plan, which suggested a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, thereby benefiting larger states. The New Jersey Plan aimed to ensure that smaller states maintained equal footing in the legislative process, thereby protecting their interests against domination by more populous states. This equal representation was crucial for small states to have a significant voice in the federal government, especially given their concerns about being overshadowed in policy-making and governance.
