Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Readings in American Constitutional History, 1776-1876
Readings in the history of American polity would have been a not inappropriate title for the book.
Formal documentary matter such as legislative bills, acts, and general statutes has been omitted. Selected statutes are now accessible in several collections, notably in the excellent series edited by Professor William macdonald. In conclusion, I will say that wherever a choice has been pos sible, I have selected material with an eye to literary form as well as to historical content.
