The larger states should have more representatives in Congress.
No, the Virginia plan called for representation by population. This put Virginia at a huge advantage (being one of the most heavily populated states) while giving states such as Rhode Island almost no representation.
The New Jersey Plan because they got more rights than the Virginia Plan.
Small states were upset about the Virginia Plan because it proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, which would favor larger states. This meant that smaller states would have less influence and power in the legislative process, as their populations were significantly lower. They feared that this imbalance would undermine their interests and lead to dominance by more populous states. In response, they advocated for the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation regardless of state size.
Basically, smaller states had little representation in the national government. Since population determined representation in the Virginia Plan, smaller states felt that they would lose substantial power in the nation government.
Small states in the union objected to the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan proposed a legislative structure based on population, which would give larger states more representation and power. In response, small states favored the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation regardless of size, ensuring that their interests would not be overshadowed by larger states. This disagreement ultimately led to the Great Compromise, resulting in a bicameral legislature with both proportional and equal representation.
The Virginia Plan called for the separation of government into three chief sectors. These were executive, legislative and judicial. A bicameral legislature was created by proportionate representation, who are elected by the people. Small states objected to proportionate representation which was settled in the New Jersey plan.
Small states objected to seats being arranged by population because they feared being overshadowed by larger states with greater representation. They believed that equal representation in the Senate would protect their interests and prevent them from being marginalized in the political process.

Because the plan gave each state one vote, so that small states would have as much power as large states.
In 1863, Kentucky bordered Confederate State Tennessee, as did a small part of Missouri. Missouri had a large border with Confederate Arkansas and Maryland had a small border with Confederate Virginia. West Virginia of course bordered Virginia as well.
I suggest you look at a map and find out for yourself.
