Madison's Virginia Plan proposed that the lower house select the upper house, and both houses would select the executive and judiciary.

Explanation:

Madison's Virginia Plan differed from the Articles of Confederation in three crucial aspects. One of these aspects was that there be a three-tier election system in which ordinary voters would elect only the lower house of the national legislature/ This lower house would then select the upper house, and both houses would appoint the executive and judiciary.
