1 answer

The Virginia Plan and New Jersey Plan had the following in common:

  1. Three branches of government - Both plans proposed a structure for government that included an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judicial branch.

  2. Legislative branch consists of elected representatives - Both plans included a legislative branch that would be made up of representatives elected by the people.

(Note: The Virginia Plan proposed representation based on population, while the New Jersey Plan proposed equal representation for each state, so they differ on that point.)
