the strengths of the Virginia plan was to create a 3-branch legislature consisting of a two-chamber, bicameral legislature, a powerful executive branch and a judicial branch.
The Virginia plan did not give equal representation to all states. It benefited the southern states for protecting slavery. This plan practically eliminated the voices of the smaller states by pegging representation in both houses of the congress to population.

What is the purpose of bicameral legislature?
The reason for the bicameral legislature dates back to when The Constitution was written. The New Jersey plan wanted every state to have an equal vote, which favored small states. The Virginia Plan called for representatives, with more populated states getting more representatives. In Congress, the Senate is the New Jersey Plan and the House of Representatives is, obviously, the Virginia plan. I'm not sure, but I believe we elect both.
