The Virginia Plan had more influence on the Great Compromise, as it proposed a strong national government with representation based on population, which favored larger states. This plan sparked significant debate and ultimately led to the Connecticut Compromise, which balanced the Virginia Plan with the New Jersey Plan by establishing a bicameral legislature. The compromise resulted in the House of Representatives, with representation based on population, and the Senate, with equal representation for each state. This structure addressed the concerns of both large and small states, shaping the framework of the U.S. Congress.
