The text follows the National Archives transcription and preserves the original spelling, capitalization, and punctuation of the engrossed parchment — "chuse," "defence," and "Behaviour" appear exactly as the framers wrote them. Editorial notes mark every passage later modified or superseded by amendment, matching the Archives' own annotations.
