The New Jersey Plan of government is presented by Paterson of New Jersey. It calls for a federal government and preserves the sovereignty of the individual states. It stands in contrast to the Virginia Plan which calls for a supreme national government. The Convention votes to proceed along the lines of the Virginia plan.
