The New Jersey Plan suggested that the states should have an equal number of representitives. The Virginia Plan said the the number of representatives should be based on the state's population. Roger Sherman proposed that the Senate would have an equal number of representatives and the House of Representatives would have one representative for every 30,000 residents. This plan satisfied all of the states and became known as the Great Compromise.
What were the advantages and disadvantages of the Virginia plan?
The Virginia Plan was James Madison's solution towards proportional representation, which was a strong national government. The benefits of this plan were that a stronger central government would create a greater bond between the states so that if state governments gain too much power, it would weaken our nation altogether, and having two legislatures, which is known as a bicameral legislature, would be able to level itself. In favor for the Virginia Plan, the stronger national government would help stabilize the economy by better organizing trade between states and the entire country. The powerful executive branch would be able to stay away from disorganization by keeping order and the holding the ability of commanding the armed forces. The number of representatives would be proportional to the populations of each state. So representation is fair by having smaller states summarize their opinions of few citizens, likely voicing all of the people, considering that states with larger populations would be able to deliver the views of the whole society with more representatives. Disadvantages, I believe, but am not sure are factual, were with a strong executive branch, the people feared that the president would manipulate his powers, just like the king of England had done so with the colonies and those who disagreed with it thought that the smaller sates wouldn't be voiced.
