The Virginia Plan wanted representation based on the population of a state. The New Jersey Plan wanted to all states to have the same number of representatives no matter the size of the state or it's population. A larger state would want the Virginia Plan because they would have more government representatives. Smaller states would support the New Jersey Plan because they would have equal representatives.
Why Virginia Plan is an important part of our nation's history?
If it weren't for the Virginia plan there probably would be no House of Representatives. This is because the Virginia plan stated that the number of representatives that each state has in congress should be based on the population of the state. Since the New Jersey plan stated that each state should have an equal amount of representatives, a compromise was made that is known as the great compromise. Today we have a senate where each state has an equal amount of representives (2). We also have the house of representatives where the amount of representatives is based on the population of the state.

This was the Connecticut Compromise.The Connecticut Compromise was an agreement reached in 1787. It was passed by large and small states reached during the Constitutional Convention.

Each state would have 2 representatives in the Senate, and in the House of Representatives, the number of seats would depend on population.

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.

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.
