The Virginia Plan, proposed by James Madison at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, called for a strong national government with a bicameral legislature. It suggested representation based on population, favoring larger states, and included an executive branch chosen by the legislature. Additionally, it proposed a judiciary with the power to veto state laws and enforce national laws, promoting a system of checks and balances. This plan laid the groundwork for discussions that ultimately shaped the U.S. Constitution.
