Summary
| Description |
English: By the time Representative Madison’s proposals passed the Senate on September 9, several changes had been made. Perhaps the most dramatic of these was the loss of the preamble which declared the government "ought to be exercised for the benefit of the people; which consists in the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the right of acquiring and using property, and generally of pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety." |
