The correct answer is (Choice C) a unicameral legislature with one vote for each state, giving equal representation to large and small states.

The New Jersey Plan was proposed as a counter to the Virginia Plan, which favored larger states by suggesting representation based on population. In contrast, the New Jersey Plan aimed to ensure that all states had equal representation, regardless of their size.
