Paterson's New Jersey Plan was ultimately a rebuttal to the Virginia Plan, and was much closer to the initial call for the Convention: drafting amendments to the Articles of Confederation to fix the problems in it.
Petersonov Plán New Jersey skutočne vyvracal Plán Virginia a bol oveľa bližšie počiatočnému volaniu po Dohode – načrtával dodatky k Článkom Konfederácie, ktoré by v nich napravili problémy.
