The Virginia Plan proposed that members of the Senate be elected by the state legislatures, with the number of representatives for each state determined by the state's population. This plan aimed to create a bicameral legislature, consisting of a lower house and an upper house, thereby ensuring representation based on population. The plan was one of the key proposals during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, advocating for a stronger national government.
