The correct answer is C. The New Jersey Plan for the federal government called for equal representation for each state in Congress.
The New Jersey Plan (also known as Paterson's Plan) was a proposal by New Jersey state delegates, in the person of William Paterson for the United States government structure, which opposed the Virginia plan, both were presented and judged during the Philadelphia Convention of June 15, 1787.
While the plan drawn up by James Madison favored the populous states, that of Paterson tended to favor small states. In fact it provided for a single-chamber parliament, whose members were divided according to an equal criterion among the States. With these basic conditions every single state could express its own vote, just as for the Confederation Congress. Then an agreement was found thanks to the Connecticut compromise. With this agreement the plan of Virginia was adopted with measures taken from the New Jersey plan: in the Senate all the states were represented while in the chamber of the representatives the votes were distributed according to the population of the represented state.
