Question

Which of the following included a one house legislature with equal representation in congress?
Virginia Plan
New Jersey Plan
Great Compromise
Connecticut Plan

Answer 1

The plan that included a one-house legislature with equal representation in Congress is the **New Jersey Plan**. The New Jersey Plan proposed a unicameral legislature where each state would have an equal number of representatives, which contrasted with the Virginia Plan that called for a bicameral legislature with representation based on population. The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise) ultimately merged elements of both plans, establishing a bicameral legislature with equal representation in the Senate and population-based representation in the House of Representatives.
