Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mystery of the Pinckney Draught At the opening of the Convention which framed the Constitution, Charles Pinckney of South Carolina presented a draught of a constitution that was referred to the Commit tee Of the Whole. This draught was not a subject of notice or comment by any Speaker or writer of the time. One might infer from the silence of all records and writers that it was the fanciful scheme of an individual which exercised no influence whatever on the Convention and did not contribute a single line or sentence to the Constitution.
