See _Papers of James Madison_, III., 1593. 34 The paragraph containing Mason’s objection to the mere majority power of Congress to regulate commerce, was included in all the southern papers, but omitted in copies furnished to the papers north of Maryland.—_Ed._ 35 Mason proposed in the convention that the President should have a privy council of six.—_Ed._ 36 This is an error. It was moved by Mason and seconded by Gerry.
