Book, "The Constitutions of the United States, According to the Latest Amendments," 1800
At the turn of the nineteenth century, newly-independent Americans celebrated the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution as embodiments of freedom and democracy. This book - a rare survivor from 1800 - includes the text of both founding documents, constitutions of the fifteen existing states, and the Northwest Ordinance, which regulated the Northwest Territory. |
