I provided evidence.

You provided some diary entries written 80 years after the fact, which merely repeat your same argument without any support, and you provided a report that points to another reference that, upon examination, doesn't say much more than that 7 states voted to go along with Madison's statement that it was felt to be necessary to cave to South Carolina's threat that unless slave imports were protected for 20 years they wouldn't be part of the union.

I, on the other hand, have quoted from the Records of the Constitutional Convention and the subsequent ratification debates, the exact words of the people who actually participated in the process.

Did you actually look at Elliot's Debates?

Your support which disproves the diary entries?

Nothing you've posted disproves the diary entries.

Did you actually look at Elliot's Debates? That was a suggestion for you, remember?
