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:

1. The qualification of senators;
2. The appointment of them by the State legislatures;
3. The equality of representation in the Senate;
4. The number of senators, and the term for which they are to be elected;
5. The powers vested in the Senate.”
