Question

Which states favored the Virginia Plan?

smaller states

middle states

northern states

larger states

Answer 1

The Virginia Plan was favored primarily by larger states. This plan proposed a strong national government with a bicameral legislature in which representation would be based on state population or wealth, giving larger states more influence. In contrast, smaller states were concerned about having less representation and preferred plans like the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation regardless of state size.
