The two answers that correctly describe what the Virginia Plan and New Jersey Plan have in common are:
1. Number of representatives based on population: Both plans proposed a system where the number of representatives in the legislative branch would be determined by the population of each state. This means that states with larger populations would have more representatives and therefore more influence over the decision-making process.
2. Three branches of government: Both plans also proposed the establishment of a government with three separate branches - legislative, executive, and judicial. This system of checks and balances was designed to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful and to ensure a separation of powers within the government.
