Which plan favored equal representation for all states?

The New Jersey Plan is the correct response because it proposed a framework for the United States government that emphasized equal representation for each state, regardless of population size. This plan was introduced in response to the Virginia Plan, which called for representation based on population, favoring larger states. By advocating for a unicameral legislature with each state receiving one vote, the New Jersey Plan aimed to ensure that smaller states had an equal voice in the governance of the nation.

In contrast, the Virginia Plan sought to create a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, which would have benefited more populous states. The Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, ultimately combined elements of both the Virginia and New Jersey Plans by establishing a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in one house and equal representation in the other. The Massachusetts Plan is less well-known and did not significantly influence the discussions around representation at the Constitutional Convention. Thus, the New Jersey Plan stands out as the proposal that specifically championed equal representation for all states.
