Speaker of the Congress, Stanisław Małachowski, initiated the session expressing that while this era is marked by revolutions, our nation has pledged peace and the lives and fortunes of its citizens to God, in contrast to others who forge their constitutions amidst bloodshed. Efforts to obstruct this constitutional undertaking by foreign powers have been countered, safeguarding government reforms designed to strengthen our defense and enhance our standing in international affairs. As the matter of Government Form was at stake, without such measures, our governance might have been dictated by foreign imposition as before. Now, with the articulation of the new constitution, we can focus on details as the overall structure is well established. Mr. Małachowski then called on Secretary Jan Łuszczewski to read the congress project proposal.

Representative from Inowrocław, Józef Trzebuchowski, addressed the President, disavowing any foreign influence and asserting his and fellow representatives' commitment to expedite governance despite not having voted for the constitutional law. He urged the President to remember significant figures like the Secretary of State for Poland-Ukraine, esteemed Jacek Małachowski, and others, emphasizing their untainted virtue and loyalty.

The President, Stanisław August Poniatowski, responded to Mr. Trzebuchowski, assuring him that the efforts to retain loyal ministers are underway, relying on patriotism to call every Polish soul back to the homeland.

Speaker Małachowski thanked the President and moved on to discuss the diversity of opinions among the representatives, stating this does not diminish the shared goal of national prosperity.

Ignacy Siwicki, from Trakai, lamented his absence during the constitutional formation but now wishes for the nation's happiness, suggesting any contentions should have been addressed within the constitutional project itself.

Aleksander Linowski, from Kraków, affirmed the emergency nature of the constitutional enactment, while Senator from Łuków, Jacek Jezierski, reminded that misconstrued patriotism can lead to national destruction, advocating for revisions that avoid divisiveness.

The session proceeded with discussions on adjusting the congress and electoral processes, with proposals from Kazimierz Plater, Senator from Troki; pleas for national unity from Grzegorz Grotowski, from Rawa Mazowiecka; and affirmations of allegiance to the newly established constitution from figures such as Albin Skórkowski, from Sandomierz.

Critical reflections on the constitution also arose, coupled with calls for ensuring public trust in governance and maintaining the constitutional balance. The session concluded with ongoing constructive discussions and schedules for successive readings of proposals, showcasing the dynamic and committed nature of Union politics.
