The Virginia Plan proposed what?

• A. One-house legislature with equal representation
• B. A strong executive council
• C. Judicial supremacy
• D. Two-house legislature with representation according to population or wealth

Answer: (D)

The plan’s main idea was to create a strong national government with a bicameral legislature whose seats would be allocated based on a state’s population or wealth. That proportional representation would give larger states more influence in making laws, a key feature distinguishing it from plans that favored equal representation. While it also proposed an executive and a judiciary, the essential point for this question is the two-house structure tied to population or wealth. This is why the correct description is a two-house legislature with representation according to population or wealth. The other options don’t match this core feature—the Virginia Plan wasn’t about one house with equal representation or about judicial supremacy.
