The Virginia plan was an idea proposed for the decision on the amount of representation for each state in Congress. The Virginia Plan suggested that representation should be determined by population and size of the state. That plan was not passed because it clearly did not favor smaller states who would end up with very little representation in the government. The New Jersey Plan was a completely contradicting plan that suggested that representation should be equal no matter what the size or population of the state was. That plan was not passed either because it only favored smaller states and politicians from the bigger states believed they needed more representation because of their size.
