The New Jersey Plan proposed equal representation for all states in the legislature, regardless of population size. This would have given more power to smaller states like the one this delegate represents. The Connecticut Plan, also known as the Great Compromise, proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population in one house and equal representation in the other, which would have given more power to larger states. The bicameral plan and supremacy clause do not specifically address representation in the legislature.
