The delegates might have considered a compromise plan that balanced both federal and state powers, such as the Great Compromise, which established a bicameral legislature. This approach could have ensured representation for both small and large states while addressing concerns about federal authority. Additionally, they may have explored a more decentralized system that emphasized state sovereignty to alleviate fears of a strong central government. Finally, a gradual approach to federalism, allowing states to retain certain powers while slowly ceding others to the federal government, could have been another viable option.
because the delegates thought that the articles of confederation wasn't that strong for the government so the delegates deiced for a new plan.

Recommend a federal plan for regulating commerce.
The Virginia Plan, also known as the Rudolph Plan or the Large-State Plan, was proposed by Virginia delegates and drafted by James Madison.
i thought it was that James Madison made up the Virginia plan because he thought it was better. Then the delegates saw that the plan would be better if revised so both sides of the conflict gets what they want.
