Report on Articles XXII and XXIII

Commentary

While the Journal places this report at the beginning of the session, Madison places it at the end. As Farrand writes, "The proceedings on these resolutions are not given in the Journal nor by Madison; in the report to Congress September 28, 1787, they are dated September 17." The editors have chosen to place the report at the beginning of the session because the vote count suggests that Massachusetts was absent, as it was for the first three votes of the session, but not the last vote.
