Answer:

The Virginia Plan gave too much power to the large states.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Virginia plan created a legislative branch based entirely on population. Each state received a number of representatives based on the population in that state.

The Virginia Plan would have given dominance and legislative power to the large states at the expense of the small states.
