Question
at the constitutional convention, what proposal for state representation was supported by larger states but not by smaller ones?

The Virginia Plan proposed representation in Congress based on state population, which benefited larger states. Smaller states opposed it because it would reduce their political power. The Articles of Confederation had equal state representation, the New Jersey Plan favored small states with equal representation, and the Great Compromise combined both population-based and equal representation to satisfy all states.
