Virginia Plan

Colonial America, Large State plan or Randolph Plan

The interests of the larger states were given an airing when Edmund Randolph presented to the Convention a series of proposals (written by James Madison), which came to be known as the Virginia Plan (or Large State Plan or Randolph Plan). It advanced the following features for the proposed new government:

  • The legislature was to be bicameral (two houses) and representation was to be proportional (based upon population)

  • The chief executive was to be chosen by the legislature

  • The judiciary was to be chosen by the legislature.

A competing proposal was put forward in the New Jersey Plan.
