The proposal for state representation that was supported by larger states but not by smaller ones at the Constitutional Convention was the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan proposed that representation in Congress be based on the population of each state, which favored larger states. In contrast, smaller states preferred the New Jersey Plan, which called for equal representation for each state regardless of population.
