Answer:
A, proposed a bicameral legislature
C. determined the representation in the legislature based on state population
Step-by-step explanation:
The Virginia plan was introduced by James Madison in 1787 as an effort to create a strong but balanced national government.
The plan created a Bicameral legislature which divided the legislative branch into two part"
- House of Representatives which handles all matters that require the use of government funds to pay for different types of government programs
- House of the Senate, which handles inter-states relation, treaty ratification, and impeachments for government officials.
The Virginia plan also outlines that the members of house representatives should be divided based on states' population. States that have more people have the right to send more government officials to represent their interest within the central government.
