Resolutions from the Convention for the Committee of Detail

Commentary

Farrand includes, among his 'Committee of Detail Papers', a copy of the resolutions reported by the Convention to the Committee - their newly amended version of the Virginia Plan. This document (which, Farrand suggests, included all proceedings up to July 23rd) includes a version of the 9th resolution which, the Convention made clear, they planned to reserve for their own consideration, and which they only agreed to on July 26th. For this reason, the editors have chosen to exclude the 9th resolution from this version of the document: it will be included upon its adoption by the Convention on the 26th.
