Final answer:
In the New Jersey Plan, the executive branch was to be elected by the unicameral Congress and consisted of a committee that could be removed by a majority of state governors.
Step-by-step explanation:
The New Jersey Plan, presented by William Paterson, proposed a contrast to the Virginia Plan during the Constitutional Convention. Instead of a strong unitary executive, the plan suggested an executive branch made up of a committee. This committee was to be elected by the unicameral Congress, and importantly, could be removed from power by a majority of state governors at any point. The executive committee envisioned by the New Jersey Plan would have been notably weak compared to the single executive models suggested by other plans of the time.
The New Jersey Plan was put forward as a solution that favored smaller states, which were concerned about their lack of influence under the Virginia Plan's proportional representation scheme. The executive outlined by Paterson was thus one facet of a plan that aimed for more equal representation across states regardless of their population size.
