The Virginia Plan, proposed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, proposed a bicameral legislature (a legislative branch with two houses: an upper and a lower), where the lower house was elected by the people, and the upper house by the lower house. It favored larger states, such as Virginia, by proposing a representation in voting based on population.
