Question

Which of the following is a correct description of the New Jersey Plan?

(1 point)

Under the New Jersey Plan, the United States would remain a loose confederation.

The New Jersey plan did not give Congress the power to regulate commerce or to tax.

Under the New Jersey Plan, a President would head the powerful executive branch.

The New Jersey plan did not give small states much power.

Answer 1

None of the four statements is correct.

Briefly: the New Jersey Plan retained equal representation for states (so it favored small states), proposed giving Congress power to tax and regulate commerce, and called for a limited/multi-person executive rather than a single powerful president.
