Under the Articles of the Confederation, which was adopted during the American Revolution as the basis of the new government, each state had one vote on pieces of legislation. Under this system, a 3/4 vote was necessary to pass new laws and a unanimous vote was required to add amendments to the Articles.
The powers that Congress had under the New Jersey plan that they did not have under the articles of confederation is that every state could only pass one vote, and could not pass votes off the population, for every state did not have the same population and therefor it would not be a fair voting.
The biggest difference between the Articles of Confederation and the Virginia plan was the power of votes. In the articles each state had a representative with one vote, the Virginia Plan was based on representation decided by a state's population.
The Articles' weakness was that they gave the federal government so little power that it couldn't keep the country united. The Articles were abandoned for the Constitution.The Articles of confederation did not give the federal government the power to taxThe Articles of confederation did not have an executive branch in other words no presidentThe Articles of Confederation did not have a judicial branch to resolve disputes and set policy.It was very difficult to pass laws under the Articles of Confederation 9/13 of the states had to agree and almost impossible to revise the Articles the need every state to agree in order to make a change.
