Why would Pennsylvania and Massachusetts support the Virginia plan?

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.

Did Elbridge Gerry support the Virginia Plan?
Elbridge Gerry very much liked the Virginia Plan(being from Massachusetts)but, at the same time very much disagreed. He thought that every state should have equal power because that is only fair. So instead Elbridge Gerry favored the rational idea of the Connecticut Compromise (Bicameral). This compromise was that we would have a senate and a house and each state would get the same amount of people at the senate and based on population would be the result of people in the house. This led to other things like the 3/5th's Compromise.I hope this helped!

If a person dies intestate (without a will) in Pennsylvania but owns property in Virginia, the laws of Virginia will govern the distribution of the property. Each state has its own laws regarding intestate succession, which determine how assets are distributed when there is no will.
