According to the Virginia Plan, states with a large population would have more representatives than smaller states. Large states supported this plan, while smaller states generally opposed it. Under the New Jersey Plan, the unicameral legislature with one vote per state was inherited from the Articles of Confederation.

The representation was based on the states population and the amount of money it gave to support the central government.

The Virginia Plan would have disadvantaged them since representation would be contingent on population.
What type of states would have more power under the Virginia Plan?
States with more residents would have benefited, because the Virginia Plan for Congress would have given states representation strictly on the basis of population. But under the Connecticut Compromise, the legislature was made bicameral, with only the House being apportioned by population, and under the 3/5 Compromise, the total numbers of slaves was not counted either.

The smaller states opposed the Virginia Plan due to issues Federalism and representation. Many of them were anti-Federalist, and they worried that states with larger populations would hold all the power.
Why was the Virginia Plan unpopular with representatives from small states?

Small states in the uinon objected to a a) Virginia plan b) New Jersey plan c) Connecticut plan?
Small states in the union objected to the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan proposed a legislative structure based on population, which would give larger states more representation and power. In response, small states favored the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation regardless of size, ensuring that their interests would not be overshadowed by larger states. This disagreement ultimately led to the Great Compromise, resulting in a bicameral legislature with both proportional and equal representation.
Why we're the smaller states in favor of the new Jersey plan?
When writing the US Constitution, the New Jersey plan for the US legislature would have given each state equal representation without regard to population. This would give greater influence to citizens of the less populous states than a legislature apportioned by population (both houses under the Virginia Plan). Under the Connecticut Compromise (The Great Compromise), states have equal representation in the Senate but apportioned representation in the House of Representatives.*The unicameral plan previously used under the Articles of Confederation gave each state one vote in the legislature, which proved extremely problematic in practice.
