The New Jersey Plan proposed equal representation for each state in Congress, which favored smaller states. Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress could pass laws. The Articles of Confederation had weaknesses like Congress not being able to enforce laws (states could ignore), collect taxes (relied on states' voluntary contributions), or deal effectively with debts (national debt issues persisted).
