The delegates to the Convention are expected to follow basic rules for appropriate behavior, including paying attention to the speaker, taking turns speaking, and not speaking too much. Seven states are designated as a quorum, with questions decided by a majority. The delegates also agree that they reconsider matters previously voted on if delegates desire and that they adhere to a rule of secrecy regarding the contents of their discussions.
