In 1779, James Madison was elected to represent Virginia. He would later be elected the fourth president of the United States.
The biggest difference between the Articles of Confederation and the Virginia plan was the power of votes. In the articles each state had a representative with one vote, the Virginia Plan was based on representation decided by a state's population.
No, James McClurg did not sign the Articles of Confederation. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress but did not participate in the signing of the Articles, which was completed in 1781.

The Virginia plan represented a more radical departure from the Articles of Confederation. The Virginia plan called for a more national government instead of a confederate government. Also, the Virginia Plan, called for a double legislative body and an elected President. The Articles of Confederation asked for a loose confederation of Sovereignty states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with state governments. http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/articles.html http://chestofbooks.com/society/law/Popular-Law-1-Legal-History/Section-98-The-Virginia-And-New-Jersey-Plans.html#.UpMSh8RmiSp
No, the Virginia Plan did not establish the Articles of Confederation. The Virginia Plan was proposed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and aimed to create a stronger national government with a bicameral legislature. In contrast, the Articles of Confederation were the first governing document of the United States, ratified in 1781, which established a loose confederation of states with a weak central government. The Virginia Plan ultimately influenced the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, which replaced the Articles of Confederation.

The Virginia Plan called for a bicameral (two house) congress, in which a state's population would determine its number of representatives, however like under the Articles of Confederation every state would only have one vote. The New Jersey.called for a unicameral (one house) congress, in which each state would have equal representation. The New Jersey Plan also called for a separate Executive and Judicial branch, which the Articles of Confederation and the Virginia Plan did not call for.
