The Post Constitutional Era! Part XXV

Article 7 – Ratification
  • Editor’s Notes:  As you look this over please make use of the links regarding the Framers backgrounds.  I am amazed to find there were so many lawyers in this group, and for that matter, that there were so many lawyers in that early America in the first place.  Well, I guess that’s a plague we have always had to endure.   
  • Any typos or misspellings are reproduced as they appeared.
