Larger states eagerly supported the Virginia Plan at the Constitutional Convention

Explanation:

The Constitutional Convention was held in order to establish the government of America. Although it was simply to revise the existing Articles of Confederation, due to the instability of the Articles as well as the specific plans and opinions of the individual state delegates, many wanted a replacement of the Articles of Confederation.

One defining debate on the governance of the new country was the representation of the people in the court. Larger states who proportionally had more citizens favored the Virginia Plan, as it gave them more state delegates and votes, allowing for proportional population representation.

Smaller states wanted to vote the New Jersey plan, as it allowed each states an equal amount of votes. Under this plan, the smaller states would get equal voice as the larger states instead of having their influence undermined for their smaller populations in the Virginia Plan.
