No, not yet. IIRC it will not be until mid-July when the small States win their demand of equal State suffrage in the Senate. The “how” of election by State legislatures was also decided about the same time.

As we will see, almost all of the Resolutions were interconnected to at least some degree. Slavery for instance, was wrapped up in questions over taxation, imposts and representation in the House of Reps.

One other important thing, the delegates will be meeting as a Committee of the Whole for some time. Much will change, as we know, from what they appeared to agree to in June, when they later meet in Convention with George Washington presiding.
