  • Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution
    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution ROBERT J. TAYLOR J. HI s YEAR marks tbe 200tb anniversary of tbe Massacbu- setts Constitution, the oldest written organic law still in oper- ation anywhere in the world; and, despite its 113 amendments, its basic structure is largely intact. The constitution of the Commonwealth is, of course, more tban just long-lived. It in- fluenced the efforts at constitution-making of otber states, usu- ally on their second try, and it contributed to tbe shaping of tbe United States Constitution. Tbe Massachusetts experience was important in two major respects. It was decided tbat an organic law should have tbe approval of two-tbirds of tbe state's free male inbabitants twenty-one years old and older; and tbat it sbould be drafted by a convention specially called and chosen for tbat sole purpose. To use the words of a scholar as far back as 1914, Massachusetts gave us 'the fully developed convention.'^ Some of tbe provisions of the resulting constitu- tion were original, but tbe framers borrowed heavily as well. Altbough a number of historians have written at length about this constitution, notably Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison in sev- eral essays, none bas discussed its construction in detail.^ This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society on October IS, 1980.

Articles Camp Followers, Nurses, Soldiers, and Spies: Women and the Modern Memory of the Revolutionary War By Heather K. Garrett Abstract: When asked of their memory of the American Revolution, most would reference George Washington or Paul Revere, but probably not Molly Pitcher, Lydia Darragh, or Deborah Sampson. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate not only the lack of inclusivity of women in the memory of the Revolutionary War, but also why the women that did achieve recognition surpassed the rest. Women contributed to the war effort in multiple ways, including serving as cooks, laundresses, nurses, spies, and even as soldiers on the battlefields. Unfortunately, due to the large number of female participants, it would be impossible to include the narratives of all of the women involved in the war.

  • February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump the White House United States of America
    February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump The White House United States of America Dear President Trump, Since the founding of this country, science has been fundamental to the advancement of sound policy and economic prosperity and innovation. Science improves the lives of Americans, stimulates our economy, advances our understanding of our world, and protects us and our families from harm. As you select advisors that will help you to draft a blueprint for American policy, we urge you to make appointing a Science Advisor an immediate priority. Science is in the DNA of the United States. It plays an integral part in our nation's security, economic growth, public health, and infrastructure. Appointing a Science Advisor quickly will enable the Administration to maximize investments in science and develop a strategic plan that secures America’s leadership in science. The Science Advisor will assist your administration in driving innovation, and provide scientifically sound solutions to the pressing issues facing our nation today; including updating deteriorating infrastructure, combatting health epidemics, providing clean air and water, and securing valuable natural resources and minerals. Appointing a Science Advisor is a smart investment for our nation and for keeping our position as a scientific leader globally. Due to the integral role of the Science Advisor, we urge you to appoint an individual with a strong scientific background who understands the rigorous scientific method, the need for evidence-based science, and who can leverage the collaborative nature of the scientific community and the value of scientific research in shaping America’s future. As supporters of science, we urge you to work with our scientific organizations as you commence the selection process and the important task of advancing America’s scientific enterprise.

In 1833, Massachusetts was the last state in the nation to “disestablish” taxation and state support for churches.1 What, if any, impact did John Adams have on this process of liberalization? What were Adams’ views on religious freedom and how did they change over time? In this intriguing article Dr. Arthur Scherr traces the evolution, or lack thereof, in Adams’ views on religious freedom from the writing of the original 1780 Massachusetts Constitution to its revision in 1820. He carefully examines contradictory primary and secondary sources and seeks to set the record straight, arguing that there are many unsupported myths and misconceptions about Adams’ role at the 1820 convention.

  • The Historical Society of Pennsylvania WASHINGTON by JOSEPH WRIGHT, 1784 the Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    The Historical Society of Pennsylvania WASHINGTON BY JOSEPH WRIGHT, 1784 THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY The Powel Portrait of Washington by Joseph Wright N THE EARLY 1930's when the selection of the best likeness of Washington for official use during the Washington Bicentennial I was being made, the choice narrowed down to a portrait painted by Joseph Wright for Mrs. Samuel Powel and the bust by Houdon. Though the experts agreed that the portrait was probably the better likeness, the bust was selected since it had long been nationally known. The portrait, on the other hand, had never been on public display and had been seen only by generations of Powels and their friends.1 It was not until the 1930's that it emerged from that state of privacy. Its history dates back to the autumn of 1783 and the arrival at Washington's headquarters at Rocky Hill, near Princeton, New Jersey, of a young artist, Joseph Wright. Born in nearby Borden- town in 1756, the son of Patience Wright, who was probably America's first sculptress, Wright had accompanied his mother to England in 1772. There he studied painting under Benjamin West 1 John C. Fitzpatrick, editor of The Writings of George Washington, told Mr. Powel this anecdote. Robert J. H.

In the mid-eighteenth century, the form was among the most extravagant because of the skill necessary for its production and for the amount of expensive imported mahogany that was planed away in forming the kettle-shaped sides. A small box set on top shares the swelled sides of the chest. Although purchased prior to their move to this house, the eighteenth-century looking glass perfectly fits the space. It descended in the family of General Nathaniel Greene of Rhode Island, one of three generals to serve the entire length of the Revolutionary War, the others being Washington and Henry Knox. 202 www.antiquesandfineart.com 9th Anniversary lifestyle A Sense of Place by Johanna McBrien photography by J. David Bohl deep respect for the history of this country and the material associated with its past is evident in the collections within A this private residence. The owners have spent over three decades acquiring exemplary forms and objects with impeccable docu- mentation and provenance. To help guide their collecting they have attended seminars and shows, gaining knowledge from both curators and leading dealers, and formed a large collection of reference books on American antiques. Over the years, they have acquired pieces from major dealers and through New York auctions. Two dealers were partic- ularly important in helping to build their collection, Jess Pavey and Wayne Pratt.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Walter Nugent COMMENTS on WYATT WELLS, “RHETORIC OF
    The Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era 14 (2015), 69–76 doi:10.1017/S1537781414000541 Walter Nugent COMMENTS ON WYATT WELLS, “RHETORIC OF THE STANDARDS: THE DEBATE OVER GOLD AND SILVER IN THE 1890S” I. SOME THOUGHTS ON THE WELLS PAPER Wyatt Wells redirects our attention to the “battle of the standards,” the central issue of the 1896 Bryan-McKinley campaign but with roots going back to the Civil War and Recon- struction. He contrasts opposing sides, labeled “goldbugs” and “silverites.” Often these labels identify Republicans on one side, Democrats and Populists on the other. Goldbugs concentrated in the Northeast, silverites in the South and West. Goldbugs included many bankers, merchants (especially in international trade), and bondholders, while silverites were often agrarians—not only farmers but rural businesspeople who shared the farmers’ ups and downs. And agrarians, both in where they lived and what they did, were still the majority of the American people during the decades in question. There were exceptions to all of these categorizations, but in general they identify the groups for which “gold- bugs” and “silverites” are surrogate terms. The consistent policies and laws affecting money—from the Public Credit Act of 1869 to the 1893 repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act—effected “persistent deflation” (p. 1). That benefited goldbugs and disadvantaged silverites.1 Whether “urban workers” (p. 10) would have been harmed by moderate inflation is arguable. It might have raised wages more than consumer prices; wages may lag more than prices but could have caught up. Arguable too is the proposition that keeping the silver standard would have ruined foreign investment.
