1. Carroll was elected president on May 15, 1788, to replace Plater, who was indisposed. Carroll was absent on May 24 and Smith was chosen. He resigned the following day, however, and Plater was returned to the presidency for the remainder of the session.
2. Charges of "treating" were brought against all four of the St. Mary's County delegates. Thomas and Key were declared unduly elected on May 20, 1788.
