The Virginia Plan favored larger states at the Constitutional Convention. It proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, which would give states with larger populations more power in the legislative process. This plan aimed to create a stronger national government and was supported by states like Virginia and Pennsylvania. In contrast, smaller states favored the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation regardless of population size.

The Connecticut Compromise (Also called the Great Compromise) settled the arguments between the two sides as the Constitutional Convention. It was a good even between the New Jersey and Virginia Plan, but more so favored the Virginia Plan. It included that the House of Representatives would have proportional representation, and that the Senate would have equal representation.
