		<description><![CDATA[The day's debate focused mostly on equality of votes in the Senate as a check in favor of the small states and state rights in general. Strong arguments made for and against. The best question of the day came from Oliver Ellsworth who asked two questions one of Mr. Wilson, whether he had ever seen a good measure fail in Congress for want of a majority of States in its favor? He had himself never known such an instance: the other of Mr. Madison whether a negative lodged with the majority of the States even the smallest, could be more dangerous than the qualified negative proposed to be lodged in a single Executive Magistrate, who must be taken from some one State? - Steve Farrell]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Editor's Summary: Gouvernuer Morris moved to add to the clause empowering the Legislature to vary the Representation according to the principles of wealth and number of inhabitants a "proviso that taxation shall be in proportion to Representation." General Pinckney agreed, Mason, Butler, Wilson agreed in principle but had reservations. General Pinckney and others amplified previous concerns about taxing a state according to its wealth (restating the difficulty of accurately and fairly defining that wealth) ... etc. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Editor's Note: Discussion regards periodic census resumed, the purpose, said Randolph, "redressing inequality in the Representation. Sherman was against to numerous a House. It would "shackle the legislature. Better to elect a smaller group of "good and wise men, and then confide in them."  Mason thought a mandatory periodic census advisable to keep things fair or thus prevent those in power from doing what is natural to men, working to retain and enlarge their sphere of influence. Etc. -- Steve Farrell on Madison's Notes: June 11, 1787.]]></description>
