The New Jersey Plan most closely resembled the Articles of Confederation because both advocated for a weak central government with a unicameral legislature where each state had equal representation. The New Jersey Plan, introduced at the Constitutional Convention, aimed to maintain the power of smaller states in contrast to the larger states favored by the Virginia Plan.
