Virginia plan
The bigger states opposed the New Jersey plan and the smaller states opposed the Virginia plan. IDK which states liked/dislike the great compromise.
They would support it because they had very large populations. In the Virginia Plan, the greater the population, the greater the voice. Therefore, larger states would support the plan, but smaller states would have low population, and therefore little voice.
The Virginia Plan, proposed during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, proposed a bicameral legislature (a legislative branch with two houses: an upper and a lower), where the lower house was elected by the people, and the upper house by the lower house. It favored larger states, such as Virginia, by proposing a representation in voting based on population.

Virginia plan
The Virginia Plan favored mostly the larger states because it was based on population. The New Jersey Plan favored smaller states because each state represented equally.
Virginia favored the Virginia plan and New Jersey favored the New Jersey plan
The New Jersey plan
The Virginia Plan was primarily supported by the larger states, including Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. These states favored the plan's proposal for a bicameral legislature with representation based on population, which would benefit them compared to smaller states. In contrast, smaller states like New Jersey opposed the plan, advocating for equal representation regardless of population size.
Charles Cotesworth Pinckney opposed the Virginia Plan during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. He favored a stronger role for the states and believed that the plan's structure, which favored larger states in representation, was unfair to the smaller states. Pinckney's own proposal, known as the Pinckney Plan, sought to create a more balanced approach to representation in Congress.
favored large states, many people.
The Virginia Plan primarily threatened the state's rights of smaller states. By proposing a strong central government with representation based on population, it favored larger states like Virginia and Pennsylvania, thereby diminishing the influence and power of smaller states such as New Jersey and Delaware. Smaller states feared that this model would lead to a loss of their interests and autonomy in the new federal system. This concern ultimately contributed to the creation of the New Jersey Plan, which aimed to protect the rights of smaller states.
