The Virginia Plan was presented to the Constitutional Convention by
Edmund Randolph on May 29, 1787. It was mostly written by James Madison
in Philadelphia while he waited for enough delegates to assemble. The
plan went beyond the Convention's instructions to revise the Articles
of Confederation. Madison knew revising the Articles was not
going to work. He believed a completely new government would have to be
constructed.
The Virginia Plan contained the ideas of a three part government consisting of executive, legislative and judicial branches, with a two house legislature. Madison's plan was submitted as soon as the Convention met and it guided the discussion from then on.
The Virginia Plan was submitted to the Constitutional Convention by Edmund Randolph, another delegate from Virginia. The Virginia Plan is also known as the Randolph Plan or the Large State plan.
