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 Virginia Plan and New Jersey Plan formed the compromise of the US Senate and House of Represenatives. The Virginia Plan called for votes of population (House of Represenatives) and the New Jersey Plan called for a fixed state vote (Senate). A law must pass through both house to become passed.
They couldn't vote until 1920.
Check out Wikkipedia which explains it better but Thee Virginia plan was a plan to give the largest states (Virginia at the time) more votes than the smaller states. Needless to say it was widely supported by large states, and heavily contested by small states that were afraid they would get bulldozed by large states. The New Jersey Plan was the alternative (each state gets one vote). In the end the Conneticut compromise was chosen...which gave each state one vote (Senate), but made a second tier of government (House of Representatives) which represented the size of each state.
New Jersey plan was created by William Paterson, and was for the smaller states. It was a plan that stated that all states should have a equal say in government. The virginia plan, created by James Madison, was a plan that stated that all states should have a say in government based on size/population of the state.

The big state plan, or the Virginia plan called for states to be represented based on population, because Virginia as a state with a large population would consequently gain considerable influence under their own plan.
When the United States Constitution was being drafted in 1787, the New Jersey Plan was an option proposed by William Paterson, a New Jersey delegate. The Plan called for only one house of Congress with each state to have one vote in Congress instead of the number of votes being based on population. The New Jersey Plan was made as an alternative to the Virginia Plan, which provided for a central government with representation by population. The New Jersey Plan was opposed by the less populous states. The New Jersey Plan was supported by William Patterson, governor of New Jersey. Opposition was led by James Madison and Edmund Randolph (the proponents of the Virginia state Plan).
He proposed the New Jersey (Paterson) Plan. It counteracted the Virginia plan by saying that all states should have an equal vote in congress. If the number of representatives was based off of population like the Virginia plan suggested, small states would be swallowed up by larger states. The small states would lose their voice in the government.
According to the Virginia Plan, states with a large population would have more representatives than smaller states. Large states supported this plan, while smaller states generally opposed it. Under the New Jersey Plan, the unicameral legislature with one vote per state was inherited from the Articles of Confederation.
The Virginia Plan called for a bicameral (two house) congress, in which a state's population would determine its number of representatives, however like under the Articles of Confederation every state would only have one vote. The New Jersey.called for a unicameral (one house) congress, in which each state would have equal representation. The New Jersey Plan also called for a separate Executive and Judicial branch, which the Articles of Confederation and the Virginia Plan did not call for.
