Excerpt:
“HAVING examined the constitution of the House of Representatives, and answered such of the objections against it as seemed to merit notice, I enter next on the examination of the Senate.
The heads into which this member of the government may be considered are:
- The qualification of senators;
- The appointment of them by the State legislatures;
- The equality of representation in the Senate;
- The number of senators, and the term for which they are to be elected;
- The powers vested in the Senate.”
