Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the Virginia Plan's principles:

• It proposed a strong national legislature with two chambers (bicameral).
• The national judiciary was to be appointed by the legislature.
• A strong executive was to be chosen by the national legislature.
• The president was not directly elected by the people, the upper house (Senate in later plans, but in Virginia Plan context) and judiciary election by people were not part of it.

So the correct options are:

• The government should have a strong national legislature with two chambers.
• A national judiciary should be appointed by the legislature.
• A strong executive should be chosen by the national legislature.

Answer:

• The government should have a strong national legislature with two chambers.
• A national judiciary should be appointed by the legislature.
• A strong executive should be chosen by the national legislature.
