At the Constitutional Convention, there was a great deal of debate about the legislative branch. There were some states that wanted representation in Congress to be based on the population of the state. This was part of the Virginia Plan, which called for two houses of Congress. This plan would give larger states more representatives than the small states, as representation would be based on the population of a state. This plan worried the small states. The people in the small states were fearful that their concerns would not be heard or addressed.

The small states developed a different plan called the New Jersey Plan. In this plan, there would be a one-house legislature and representation would be equal for all states. Eventually, a compromise was reached. It called for two houses of Congress with unequal representation in one house and equal representation in the other house. Thus, the part of the New Jersey Plan that was not included in the Constitution was the part about having only one house of Congress.
