The Great Compromise, established during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, incorporated ideas from the Virginia Plan primarily through its proposal for a bicameral legislature. The Virginia Plan advocated for representation based on population, which was reflected in the House of Representatives, where states with larger populations would have more representatives. This compromise balanced the interests of populous states with those of smaller states, which were represented equally in the Senate, thereby ensuring a fairer system of governance.
