The Pennsylvania Packet, and Daily Advertiser. Newspaper, August 22, 1789 (No. 3295). Philadelphia: John Dunlap and David C. Claypoole. 4 pp., 11 3/8 x 18 1/4 in. "Mr. [Egbert] Benson [of New York] moved that the words 'but no person religiously scrupulous shall be compelled to bear arms,' be struck out. He wished that this humane provision should be left to the wisdom and benevolence of government. It was improper to make it a fundamental in the constitution."This issue of the Pennsylvania Packet includes key debates in the House of Representatives on the developing set of amendments that were later ratified as the Bill of Rights.

(p3/c1)[Proposed by Congress as twelfth amendment; ratified as Tenth Amendment.]"Mr. Tucker moved that certain propositions for amendments to the constitution, which he had laid on the table on Monday, should be read. They being read, he moved that they be referred to the committee of the whole. The question on this motion was lost by a great majority."
