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 Virginia Plan would have disadvantaged them since representation would be contingent on population.
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.
the large states wanted more representation in congress while the small states wanted the representation to be equal throughout the states. The small states opposed the Virginia Plan and the large states supported the Virginia Plan. The small states supported the New Jersey Plan and the large states preferred the Virginia Plan over the New Jersey Plan.

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.
He proposed the New Jersey (Paterson) Plan. It counteracted the Virginia plan by saying that all states should have an equal vote in congress. If the number of representatives was based off of population like the Virginia plan suggested, small states would be swallowed up by larger states. The small states would lose their voice in the government.
