What delegates did not agree with the Virginia Plan?
Delegates who did not agree with the Virginia Plan included those from smaller states, such as New Jersey, who felt that the plan favored larger states by proposing representation in Congress based on population. This concern led to the introduction of the New Jersey Plan, which aimed to maintain equal representation for each state regardless of size. Key figures like William Paterson advocated for this alternative to ensure that smaller states had a fair voice in the new government structure.

How much are the tolls from Massachusetts to Virginia?
It's tricky. It gets hairy around NY-NJ due to all this stuff (peak vs. off-peak) and since I-95 doesn't connect well, it also depends where you cross into Pennsylvania/Delaware, and if you have EZPass, which sometimes gets a discount. If you use the New Jersey Turnpike all the way from the GW Bridge, to I-295, and cross into Delaware, and you're going southbound at peak times, it's going to be about $26.30 if I did my math right.
The I-295 Delaware River Bridge is $3 southbound only, but there's a northbound-only toll in Maryland north of Baltimore which is $5. So it's about $28.30 from Virginia to Canada. That should be about right.
