a) Introduced the Virginia Plan

Edmund Randolph’s role in Constitutional history is marked by his introduction of the Virginia Plan at the Constitutional Convention. This proposal called for a strong national government with a bicameral legislature based on proportional representation, a national executive, and a judiciary. The Virginia Plan was a significant departure from the Articles of Confederation, advocating for a more centralized federal structure. Randolph’s proposal set the stage for the Convention’s debates and was instrumental in shaping the Constitution’s final form.
