Dear Scott,

I would start with a comprehensive review of A. E. Dick Howard's 
"Commentaries On The Constitution of Virginia"; KFV 2801.A6 H68; Volumes 1 
and 2 to determine what issues lay upon the table, why, when, and then 
determine and investigate who was involved in them - ("other than poring 
through Acts of Asembly one-by-one")

The above addresses your first paragraph only ("good techniques for 
researching").

Regards, Ray
