Nathaniel Gorham, a delegate from Massachusetts, was generally supportive of the Virginia Plan, which proposed a stronger national government with a bicameral legislature based on population. However, he also had concerns about the plan's implications for smaller states and the balance of power. Ultimately, Gorham played a key role in the Constitutional Convention, advocating for compromises that would accommodate both larger and smaller states. His support was crucial in shaping a more balanced approach to representation in the new government.

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.
