The Virginia Plan supported the idea of

Answer
A
equal representation of states.
B
representation based on population.
C
multi-cameral representation.

Explanation

The Virginia Plan proposed that representation in the national legislature be based on each state's population or its contribution to the national government. This favored larger states, which had more people. The plan called for a two-house legislature, not a unicameral one, and equal representation of states was the New Jersey Plan's position.
