William Richardson Davie, was among those who did not believe the Articles of Confederation went far enough to outline the duties of each branch of the government. He believed such things as the method of selecting senators could lead to representatives voting along lines of prejudice might prevail, and as with the Articles of Confederation, there would be no immediate solution.
