Why did some delegates believe the Virginia Plan would establish a national form of government?
Some delegates believed the Virginia Plan would establish a national form of government because it proposed a strong centralized authority with a bicameral legislature, where representation would be based on population. This structure aimed to replace the weaker Articles of Confederation, providing the federal government with greater power to regulate commerce, levy taxes, and enforce laws. Additionally, the plan emphasized the importance of a unified national identity over state sovereignty, reflecting a shift toward a more cohesive national government.
