The Virginia Plan was a proposal for a new form of government based on a separation of powers into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. Besides, it was in favor of allowing new states to enter the United States of America. Supporters of the plan, who wanted to create a strong national government, pursued to eliminate abuses in power. However, <u>the Virginia Plan resembled rule under the British Parliament since it gave the national Congress the power to veto any state law. </u>Under the Virginia Plan, the bicameral legislative branch was more powerful than the executive and judicial branches, since it was based on the idea of population-weighted representation. Each states would be represented in proportion to their inhabitants; as a result, those states with a large population would have more representatives than smaller states.
