The New Jersey and Virginia plans tried to settle issues regarding the power of states (representation) in the national government.

Explanation:

Both plans were presented at the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia in 1787, and aimed at organizing the structure of the legislative branch of the United States.

The Virginia plan was developed by James Madison, and tended to favor larger states. It provided for a bicameral Congress, whose members were divided proportionally to the population of each state, whose powers were very strong, including the power of veto with respect to the legislation of the individual states; an executive appointed by the legislative body; and a federal court composed of immovable judges.

The New Jersey plan was drawn up by William Paterson, who opposed too much power given to the government for larger states; in fact, it tended to favor the little ones. It provided for a single-chamber parliament, whose members were divided according to an equal criterion between the states (that is, every single state had a vote), which had greater powers; an executive appointed by the legislature, but without the possibility of re-election and subject to the power of revocation of the governors of the States; and a federal court composed of judges appointed by the executive and immovable.
