The New Jersey plan called for D) equal representation for all states in the Congress. This plan called for equal representation to protect the rights of "small states" who feared that large states would dominate the legislature if representation was based on the size of the state's population. 

The correct answer is D. A synonymous with the Confederated States of America would be the Rebels.
