Gerardo Heath · Answer 2

Option B.

Explanation:

It preserved an executive committee rather than adopting a singular President, is the right answer.

The New Jersey Plan was a recommendation for the construction of Government in the United States. William Paterson introduced this plan on 15th June 1787 at the Constitutional Convention. This plan was an acknowledgement to the Virginia Plan, which asked for two houses of Congress, both chosen with distribution according to residents. However, this plan preserved an executive council rather than selecting a single President.
