There were several "plans" presented at the convention. But the one presented first, which became the basis of discussion was the "Virginia Plan" written mainly by James Madison (one reason he was called "the father of the Constitution") and introduced by fellow Virginian, Edmund Randolph. It included two houses, both elected on the basis of a state's population.
The other "plan" people most associate with the Constitution was the "Connecticut Plan", which broke the impasse between those who favored equal representation for each state in at least one house of the national legislature (as under the Articles of Confederation in which each state voted as a block, just as the Continental Congresses and the Constitutional Convention itself voted) and those who advocated all representation be based on population (as in the Virginia Plan), so that larger states would send more representatives, each of whom would have his own vote. That one house should be by population had already been agreed upon when the Connecticut Plan's proposal that the "upper house" (later named the Senate) would have the same number of representatives from each state.
There were two opposing plans for how the new Congress should work. One stated that the number of representatives each state would have should be decided by population. The other stated that each state should have the same number of representatives. Neither party would budge, so a compromise was eventually made. In response to the two opposing plans for the creation of the Congress, a compromise was proposed by Roger Sherman of Connecticut. He said that there would be two houses of Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives would reflect a state's population, while the Senate would have an equal number of representatives for each state--two.
The two opposing plans for how the new congress should work were The New Jersey Plan and The Virginia Plan. One favored small states and the other favored larger states.

The representation of states in the United States Senate is based on equal representation. Every state, regardless of size, elects two senators; in contrast, the number of seats a state has in the House of Representatives is based on that state's population. This difference arose out of the conflict between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan put forth at the Philadelphia Convention. The Virginia Plan proposed that representation in the legislature be based on either a state's population or its monetary contribution to the federal government, whereas the New Jersey Plan proposed an equal distribution of seats in the legislature to all states. The agreed upon compromise between these two plans, called the Connecticut Compromise, established two houses: the House of Representatives, based on proportional representation, and the Senate, based on equal representation.
