In what part of the great compromise are the ideas of the virginia plan represented? the senate the house of representatives the office of the president the unicameral legislature

In the Great Compromise, the ideas of the Virginia Plan are represented in the House of Representatives.

In 1787, the various representatives of the American states met in Philadelphia to write together the first constitution of the United States. Before that, since 1781, they were governed by the articles of the confederation which gave them great freedom and created a national government with very weak powers. This system didn't work and had led the country into an economic and social crisis. The main disagreement between the representatives during the Philadelphia debates was about state representation. Finally, the text accepted by all and called the great compromise or compromise of Connecticut.

Before the signing of the compromise, there were two opposing sides:

Major states wanted the elected representatives in the chamber to be proportional to the number of voters in each state, which would automatically give them more elected representatives. Small states, on the contrary, wanted to create a single chamber where each state, regardless of its size, would have the same number of representatives. It was necessary to find a compromise between these two opposite propositions, and it was Connecticut that succeeded to do it.

The adopted text created two chambers: the House of Representatives where the elected officials were proportional to the size of their states, as Virginia wanted, and the Senate where each state had the same number of representatives, as the New Jersey wanted.
