One key component of the Virginia Plan was the proposal for a bicameral legislature, which would consist of two houses. This legislative structure was designed to ensure representation based on population, favoring larger states. Additionally, the plan called for a strong national government with the power to legislate and enforce laws, contrasting with the weaker framework of the Articles of Confederation.
