Heidi Shepard · Answer 1

The Virginia plan was proposed to be a bicameral congress. It was suppose to be arranged by population of the state. This is basically the House of Representatives.

Camilla Bradshaw · Answer 2

The Virginia Plan was a plan that each state would have a different number of representatives according to its population. This contradicted the New Jersey Plan, stating that every state would have the same amount of representatives. In the end they settled on the Great Compromise in 1787. This new compromise announced that Congress would be divided into two parts: The House of Representatives (based on the population in the state) and Senate (there would be two senators per state).
