Virginia plan
The delegates at the Constitutional Convention decided to base the Constitution on the Virginia Plan, which was drafted by James Madison. The Virginia Plan called for a strong central government with separate branches and a bicameral legislature. Madison's plan heavily influenced the structure and principles of the Constitution.
The United States Constitution incorporates several provisions from the Virginia Plan, particularly the framework for a bicameral legislature. The Virginia Plan proposed a two-house legislature with representation based on population, which influenced the Constitution's establishment of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Additionally, the plan's emphasis on a stronger national government and separate branches of government is reflected in the Constitution's structure and principles.
