What was the result of the blending of the Virginia and New Jersey Plans?

The blending of the Virginia and New Jersey Plans resulted in the formation of a bicameral legislature that included both equal and proportional representation. This compromise emerged during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, addressing the contentious debate between larger states, which supported the Virginia Plan advocating for representation based on population, and smaller states, which favored the New Jersey Plan, calling for equal representation regardless of size.

This compromise ultimately led to the establishment of a legislative system featuring two houses: the House of Representatives, where representation is based on a state's population, aligning with the Virginia Plan, and the Senate, where each state has equal representation (two senators), as proposed by the New Jersey Plan. This dual approach balanced the interests of both large and small states, thereby facilitating the adoption of the U.S. Constitution.

The other options, such as a unicameral legislature, a federal bill of rights, or the development of a new tax system, do not accurately capture the essence of this compromise. The creation of a unicameral legislature would not have reconciled the conflicting interests of states effectively. Additionally, the federal bill of rights was addressed later and does not relate directly to the legislative structure compromise. The new tax system was not a direct outcome of the blending
