Answer 1

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

1. Legislative branch consists of elected representatives
2. Three branches of government

While the two plans differed in how legislative representation would be structured (the Virginia Plan favored representation based on population, while the New Jersey Plan favored equal representation for states), they both included the idea of a legislative branch made up of elected representatives and proposed a system of government with three branches.
