The Virginia plan wanted a bicameral legislature, with each state having representation depending on their population. This appealed to the large states but less to the small states, who favored the New Jersey Plan, which provided a single house of goverment with states represented equally, no matter the size or population. In the end, parts of both plan were used under the Connecticut compromise, in which the federal government was bicameral, in with one chamber appointed based on population (the House of Representatives) and the other chamber with every state represented equally.
