Note 109 — Monday, June 25. in Convention.
Reading edition
According to Yates, Madison followed Pinckney:
"Mr. Madison. We are proceeding in the same manner that was done when the Confederation was first formed. Its original draft was excellent, but in its progress and completion it became so insufficient as to give rise to the present Convention. By the vote already taken, will not the temper of the state legislatures transfuse itself into the Senate? Do we create a free government?"—Yates, Secret Proceedings, etc., 168.
