Thanks for posting this. It is very interesting to read about the actual daily goings on at the convention. We know this was later resolved by agreeing that the state legislatures would appoint/elect two representatives from each state to be in the Senate. That still kept the people in charge, though indirectly.

You are welcome. Something I've taken from the proceedings is that no single person, or even handful wrote the final draft. Our Constitution may be the last great work from a committee.
