Note 35 — Chapter I · Introductory: The Antecedents of the Power

This is the draft as reconstructed by Professor Farrand (vol. iii, pp. 604, 607), but the document sent by Pinckney in 1819 to John Quincy Adams for publication in the journal, omitted the last clause. This draft, however, was written not very long before 1819, and was not presented to the Convention in 1787. See Records, vol. iii, p. 595 ff; “Sketch of Pinckney’s Plan for a Constitution, 1787,” in American Historical Review, vol. ix, p. 735, and Bancroft, History of the Constitution, vol. i, p. 258.
