Explanation:

The Virginia plan wants a strong central gov. with a legislative, judicial, and executive branch. The three branches would balance each other out with checks and balances. For the legislative branch there would be 2 parts. One with 3 yr terms, elected by the people the other with 7yr terms appointed by the gov. All states representatives, in both houses, would be determined by population. This would give fair and equal representation with both the government's view and the people's view. This plan is in favor for a strong, equally balanced, central gov. and a bilegislator in whichbthe state has an opinion and the citizens do too. It is also determined by population, how many reps you get.
