At today's session, after the arrival of President Stanisław August Poniatowski, Speaker Stanisław Małachowski urged for a continuation of the debate on the proposed reforms to improve the government's form, of which some parts have already been decided upon.

Secretary of Congress Jan Łuszczewski read aloud the second article of the reform proposal. Upon completion, many Representatives sparked a lively discussion, especially regarding the clause concerning who should be able to vote at local congresses. The clause proposed that only landowning nobility and their sons should vote, a point met with mixed reactions. Some argued that the text should stay broad, indicating that all nobility should vote at congresses, without specifying details about Representatives. This point caused quite a stir as some pointed to ancient laws permitting only landowners to vote. They highlighted that a single Constitution from 1768, enacted under foreign pressure, allowed even non-landowners to vote, which they claim led to various illegalities and violence, especially by those who rallied uneducated crowds.

As a consensus seemed to form among most participants, only Representative Józef Mierzejewski from Podolia objected. President Poniatowski himself, citing patriotic duty and invoking the spirit of national unity, appealed to the Representative from Podolia to withdraw his objection. Following his concession, the disputed article proposing that only landowning nobility should vote at local congresses was unanimously approved.

After a marathon nine-hour meeting, the session was adjourned until the following day.
