The Committee of Detail was a five-member committee chosen by the Constitutional Convention in July 1787 to produce the first draft of the United States Constitution, based on the arguments and plans that had been presented to the Convention up to that point. The committee consisted of John Rutledge (South Carolina), Edmund Randolph (Virginia), Oliver Ellsworth (Connecticut), James Wilson (Pennsylvania), and Nathaniel Gorham (Massachusetts). Though most of their report reiterated items that had already been debated and discussed, the committee also took considerable liberties with their draft, including adding such notable Constitutional provisions as the “Speech and Debate” clause and the “Necessary and Proper” clause. The final draft of the Constitution produced by the Convention would be finalized by the Committee of Style chosen in September of 1787, but this draft would have a large impact on the final Constitution. Readers will notice considerable portions of the United States Constitution reflected in this document.
