The Congress under the Virginia plan would have been a unicameral legislature with representation based on a state's population like the House of Representatives that we have today.

The two house legislature was proposed by the Great Compromise/Connecicut Compromise. The Plan that recommended representation be determined by population was Virginia Plan, because they had a very large population, so a legislature based on population would give Virginia a lot of influence in the new nation.
The Virginia Plan called for a strong national government set up into three branches, legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislature would be made up of two houses. The first house would be elected by the people. The second house would be selected by the first house. The people selected would come from a list nominated by each of the states legislative body. As you can see, this allowed the voting population the right to elect just one of the houses of the national legislature.
The House of Burgesses was the legislature of the Virginia Colony.

The powers that the legislature would have under the Albany Pan Of Union is the power to collect taxes, raise troops, and regulate trade.
The plan called for a two house legislature, and a court system. The members of the lower house of the legislature would be elected by the people. The members of the upper house would be chosen by the lower house.
According to the Virginia Plan, states with a large population would have more representatives than smaller states. Large states supported this plan, while smaller states generally opposed it. Under the New Jersey Plan, the unicameral legislature with one vote per state was inherited from the Articles of Confederation.
The Virginia Plan, a suggested plan of government for the US Constitution, would have a two-house legislature apportioned on the basis of free population, and that legislature would select (elect) the office holders in both the Executive and Judicial branches of government.

That would be West Virginia. Virginia's northwesternmost counties did not wish to secede when the state's legislature voted to do so.
States with more residents would have benefited, because the Virginia Plan for Congress would have given states representation strictly on the basis of population. But under the Connecticut Compromise, the legislature was made bicameral, with only the House being apportioned by population, and under the 3/5 Compromise, the total numbers of slaves was not counted either.
No. The "Connecticut Compromise" used aspects of both the Virginia (large state) Plan and the New Jersey (small state) Plan and created a bicameral legislature.
The Virginia Plan, in having a unicameral legislature whose delegates are assigned by population (much like having just the House of Representatives), favored large states, because their large populations would give them power.
