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").
