Question

At the Constitutional Convention, the Virginia Plan appealed most widely to delegates of which kind of states?

Answer 1

The Virginia Plan (also known as the Randolph Plan, after its sponsor, or the Large-State Plan) was a proposal by Virginia delegates for a bicameral legislative branch. The plan was drafted by James Madison while he waited for a quorum to assemble at the Constitutional Convention of 1787.

Virginia's Plan was based on population. The larger states favored this plan because it would give them more representation in Congress.
