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.
What type of government did the Virginia Plan support and what states did it a favor?
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.
