Answer:
These two plans reflect one of the main debates that arose during the Constitutional Convention (convened to amend the Articles of Confederation) regarding the number of votes that each state would have in Congress.
Step-by-step explanation:
New Jersey Plan
The New Jersey Plan was the proposal on how the United States would be governed. The Plan proposed that each state have a representative with vote in Congress and was opposed to the number of representatives and votes being based on the amount of population. The objective was to protect the equality of states regardless of population size. It was presented to the Constitutional Convention by William Paterson on June 15, 1787.
Virginia Plan
The Virginia Plan was presented by James Madison and proposed a strong national government divided into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. The plan also proposed a bicameral legislature (divided into two bodies: the Senate and the House of Representatives) with proportional representation. That is, the representation of each state in Congress would be based on its population.
