Ratification of the Constitution by the States, Massachusetts
Angebote / Angebote:
Massachusetts ratified the new Constitution in February 1788, becoming the sixth pillar in the "Great or Grand Federal Superstructure." This fourth and last volume on Massachusetts continues the story of the struggle with a wealth of material on the Convention's activities. Some of the most interesting letters dramatically explain how the Federalist caucus cautiously and cleverly persuaded Convention President John Hancock to support recommendatory amendments to the Constitution. The bulk of the volume, however, covers the aftermath of ratification, including the descriptions of the many celebrations that occurred after ratification.
