The smaller states followed the "Connecticut Plan" which, as opposed to the larger states' preference, the "Virginia Plan," made plans for a unicameral body in which all states had equal representation - today known as the Senate.

What were the guidelines that were established by the founding fathers at the Constitutional Convention?
During the Constitutional Convention, small states wanted equal representation regardless of population size, advocating for each state to have the same number of representatives in Congress. This was exemplified by the New Jersey Plan, which proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation for all states. In contrast, large states favored representation based on population, as proposed in the Virginia Plan, believing that this would ensure that their larger populations had a proportional influence in the legislative process. This conflict ultimately led to the Great Compromise, establishing a bicameral legislature with both equal and proportional representation.
