Reasons Against the Late Convention's Proposed Constitution
A Georgia pamphlet argues four reasons to oppose the convention reforms. It claims the plan freezes minority power, up to 62 counties gaining 62 seats while 62 others receive 70, creating unequal representation and potential minority control of laws, Senate elections, and judges. It condemns the remedy as not addressing the core inequity and details disparities in population-to-representative ratios across counties.

Is the slave representation tax plan right for the people
A polemic argues against ratification of a constitutional measure altering representation and taxation. It contends the proposed tax reduction primarily benefits the rich and slaveholding counties, not the poor, and warns that removing slave-based representation would raise taxes on all, harming the majority. The piece defends equal stakes between rich and poor and urges unity.
