of one in a convention of seventy.

[41] In five States I have found no mention of the subject
(Delaware, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, and Maryland). In
the Pennsylvania convention there was considerable debate,
partially preserved in Elliot's and Lloyd's _Debates_. In the
Massachusetts convention the debate on this clause occupied a
part of two or three days, reported in published debates. In
South Carolina there were several long speeches, reported in
Elliot's _Debates_. Only three speeches made in the New
Hampshire convention seem to be extant, and two of these are
on the slave-trade: cf. Walker and Elliot. The Virginia
convention discussed the clause to considerable extent: see
Elliot. The clause does not seem to have been a cause of North
Carolina's delay in ratification, although it occasioned some
discussion: see Elliot. In Rhode Island "much debate ensued,"
and in this State alone was an amendment proposed: see
Staples, _Rhode Island in the Continental Congress_. In New
York the Committee of the Whole "proceeded through sections 8,
9 ... with little or no debate": Elliot, _Debates_, II. 406.

[42] South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina. North
Carolina had, however, a prohibitive duty.
