Virginia plan
false
yes
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.
They would support it because they had very large populations. In the Virginia Plan, the greater the population, the greater the voice. Therefore, larger states would support the plan, but smaller states would have low population, and therefore little voice.
Virginia Plan and New Jersey Plan
Virginia plan
The Virginia Plan favored mostly the larger states because it was based on population. The New Jersey Plan favored smaller states because each state represented equally.
Virginia favored other large states like itself with high population. The overall agenda for debate was based on the idea of population based representation.
The New Jersey plan
false
The New Jersey plan stated that the larger states should have the most representation. This worried the smaller states that they would not be heard as much.
Smaller States favored the New Jersy Plan. Mostly the northen, small population states such as New Jersey, New York, Conneticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island favored it because it gave them a fair vote.
yes
The House of Representatives is favored by larger states because the number of representatives in the House for each state is decided by the states' population. This means that larger states have more representatives. Therefore, they will have more votes and a bigger influence.
favored large states, many people.
