Which of the following was not a plan considered by the members of the constitutional convention when setting up the new government?
a. the new jersey plan
b. the pennsylvania plan
c. the connecticut plan
d. the virginia plan

The correct answer is B) The Pennsylvania Plan

The New Jersey Plan was an idea proposed at the Constitutional Convention that would structure Congress by having one house and each state would be represented equally in Congress.

The Connecticut Plan called for two houses in Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate). In this plan, the number of representatives in the House of Representatives would be based on a states population while each state would have 2 Senators, regardless of population. This is the plan that is actually used at the Constitutional Convention.

The Virginia Plan called for two houses in Congress. Both of the houses would have the number of representatives for each state based on a states population.
