Elbridge Gerry very much liked the Virginia Plan(being from Massachusetts)but, at the same time very much disagreed. He thought that every state should have equal power because that is only fair. So instead Elbridge Gerry favored the rational idea of the Connecticut Compromise (Bicameral). This compromise was that we would have a senate and a house and each state would get the same amount of people at the senate and based on population would be the result of people in the house. This led to other things like the 3/5th's Compromise.
I hope this helped!
