Transcription Notes:
In Section 2 it appears that the handwritten word in the left margin should be Representatives; however, I left it as presentatives bc that's all I could actually see.
In Section 5, it appears that the handwritten note in the right margin should be Executive; however, the second 'e' is missing so I left it out.
