States that wanted a more democratic form of government with greater representation for the common people favored the "New Jersey Plan" during the Constitutional Convention. This plan proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state, regardless of population size, which aimed to enhance the influence of smaller states and ensure broader representation. In contrast to the Virginia Plan, which favored larger states, the New Jersey Plan emphasized the importance of equal say for all states in the legislative process.
