People favored the Virginia Plan because it proposed a strong national government with a system of checks and balances, which supporters believed would prevent tyranny and ensure effective governance. The plan also called for representation in Congress based on population, which appealed to larger states seeking more political power. Additionally, it emphasized the importance of a bicameral legislature, reflecting a more organized and efficient legislative process. Overall, the Virginia Plan aligned with the aspirations of those who wanted a more centralized authority to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation.
