B. The New Hampshire Plan
C. The Florida Plan
D. The Washington Plan

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) the New Jersey Plan.

The plan that offered the constitutional convention a proposal for representation was the New Jersey Plan.

During the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in the city of Philadephia, Pennsylvania, William Patterson shared the New Jersey plan to form the federal government of the United States. Patterson introduced the plan as a way to have an alternative to the proposed Virginia Plan that gave the larger states too much power over the smaller states.
