Some additional features of the New Jersey Plan included:
- A unicameral legislature with equal representation for all states
- A plural executive elected by the legislature
- A Supreme Court appointed by the executive and legislature
The New Jersey Plan was supported by small states, such as New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, which feared being dominated by larger states. It was opposed by large states, such as Virginia, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, which wanted a proportional representation based on population. Ultimately, the New Jersey Plan was not adopted in its entirety, but some of its features were incorporated into the final version of the Constitution.
