Explanation:

The Virginia Plan wanted representation by population, believed in a strong national government, supported large states and a bicameral (two - house) legislature. The compromise is called the Great Compromise, created a bicameral (two - house) legislature and balanced the interests of large and small states. The New Jersey Plan wanted representation to be equal by states, believed in a limited national government, supported small states and a unicameral (one - house) legislature. Some people were worried the new Constitution gave too much power to the national government. The Bill of Rights was added in 1791 to protect individual freedoms and it includes the first ten amendments to the Constitution. The amendment process of the US Constitution is difficult, there are 27 amendments total. The steps for amending the US Constitution involve proposal by Congress or a national convention and ratification by the states. The Virginia Constitution has been rewritten several times and its amendment steps involve action by the General Assembly or a constitutional convention.
