Commentary

The journal's note that debate on the "last resolution" was postponed is extremely unclear as to which resolution is meant. Madison's notes supply "the Resolution moved by Mr Randolph and Mr Madison", which suggests the amendment chosen by the editor.

Randolph's Second Resolution [Virginia Plan] - minimal version was voted on on 30 May 1787
