The Virginia Plan proposed the idea for a bicameral legislation based on population. Prior to that, there was a unilateral congress. Before representatives were based on population, every state had one vote.
The House of Representatives is based on population and the senate is the same for all the states 2 per state.
The big state plan, or the Virginia plan called for states to be represented based on population, because Virginia as a state with a large population would consequently gain considerable influence under their own plan.

The Great Compromise :D
The Great Comprise called Congress to have two houses. This compromise was made up of the Virginia Plan (large states) and the New Jersey Plan (small states). The Virginia Plan called for a bicameral house (two house) that is based on population. And the New Jersey Plan called for a unicameral house (one house) that would be based on equality. The Congress decided to have two houses. One would be based on the population of the state, and one would be based on equality. The houses are called the House of Representatives and the House of the Senate. Each house have different jobs and responsibilities.
