3 Quick Lookback at Representative Government

4 Ancient Democracies, Republics & Constitutions • Athenian democracy developed around the fifth century BC in the Greek city-state of Athens. Spread to other city-states. • It was a system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. This was not considered to be a “representative government,” however. • To vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a slave, or a woman. • Leaders elected at random by citizens. • Solonian Constitution drafted in 594 BC.

Greek Senate c. 450 BC

• Indian City State of Vaishali functioned as what would be called a Republic. There were other similar city-states, all in northern India. • Decision making by voting of two primary groups:  Martial or warrior class  Trade guilds/agriculturists class • Code of Manu issued in 3rd Century BC.

North Indian Assembly c.400 BC

• Two Consuls – executive leaders • Senate comprised of 300 upper class citizens • Tribune comprised of 10 lower class citizens • Citizen Assemblies (adult males only) • Two-party system – Patricians & Plebians • Leaders elected lower members • Considered to be a Republic • 12 Tables (constitution-like) codified in 450 BC. Roman Assembly c. 100 BC 5 Evolution of England / Great Britain / UK Parliament

The constitution of the United Kingdom is the sum of laws and principles that make up the body politic of the United Kingdom. It concerns both the relationship between the individual and the state, and the functioning of the legislature, the executive and judiciary. The UK does NOT have one specific constitutional document. Instead the constitution is found within a variety of written and some unwritten sources. This is sometimes referred to as an "unwritten" or uncodified constitution. The British constitution primarily draws from four sources: statute law (laws passed by the legislature), common law (laws established through court judgments), parliamentary conventions, and works of authority.

 Magna Carta 1215 – asserted freedom of the church and right of due process  Instrument of Government 1653 – Oliver Cromwell’s basis for his republic  Bill of Rights 1689 – asserted individual rights and limits on monarchy*  Crown & Parliament Recognition Act 1689 – confirmed validity of laws passed  Act of Settlement 1701 – settled the succession of the Crown  Acts of Union 1707 – union of England and Scotland to form Great Britain  Act of Union 1800 – union of Great Britain and Ireland (later seceded) created UK  … Dozens of Acts and Agreements since 1800

*Bill of Rights (1689) reflected many of the ideas of John Locke, the alleged great mind behind the Carolina Fundamental Constitutions.

7 Original 13 Colonies – The Charters A charter is a document that gave colonies the legal rights to exist. Colonial Charters were empowered when the Crown gave a grant of exclusive powers for the governance of land to proprietors or a settlement company. For the trading companies, charters vested the powers of government in the company in England. The officers would determine the administration, laws, and ordinances for the colony, but only as conforming to the laws of England. Proprietary charters gave governing authority to the proprietor(s), who determined the form of government, chose the officers, and made laws, subject to the advice and consent of the freemen. All colonial charters guaranteed to the colonists the vague rights and privileges of Englishmen. In the second half of the seventeenth century, the Crown looked upon charters as obstacles to Colonial control, substituting the royal province for corporations and proprietary governments.

• New charter of 1618 authorized the formation of a representative assembly and Gov. George Yeardley oversaw its implementation.

• 22 duly elected settlers, 6 councilors, and the new governor met for the first time in August of 1619 in “general Assemblie.”

• Called “burgesses,” they first met for less than a week: Set a floor for the price of tobacco Set relations with local natives Settled a few criminal cases 9 South Carolina Quick Lookback (1629 to 1775)

10 Carolana

Chartered October 30, 1629 Attorney General 1625-1631

Never Legally Settled

King Charles I Sir Robert Heath

King Charles I on 30 Oct. 1629 granted to Robert Heath the land between 31° and 36° north latitude— the territory between Albemarle Sound and the modern Georgia-Florida boundary and extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. The land was named Carolana and under his charter Heath had broad feudal powers, yet laws for his colony were to be enacted by the free-holders or their representatives. A local nobility might be created and a gold crown was to be kept in Carolana for use by the king when he should visit there. Heath's attempts to attract Huguenot settlers failed, and after a few years he transferred his rights to Henry Frederick Howard, Lord Maltravers. The name assigned to the region survived in a slightly modified form and various provisions of Heath's charter were retained in subsequent charters.

Thomas Broughton 1735-1737 Part of this was due to the “Instructions” William Bull* 1737-1743 provided by the Crown, which gave James Glen 1743-1756 more and more power to governors. William Henry Lyttelton 1756-1760 These increased William Bull, Jr.* 1760-1761 powers caused the future Patriots to Thomas Boone 1761-1764 severely limit the governor’s reach.

President of the Executive Council, Acting Governor. When the public erupted in a rebellion in late 1719, they chose their first "elected" governor, James Moore, Jr. to give his allegiance to the Crown instead of to the Lords Proprietors. The Crown took over administration of South Carolina at this point in time, but they did not purchase the interests of the Lords Proprietors until 1729.

Royal Governors were appointed by the Crown, on the advice of the Secretary of State, and accountable directly to both the Secretary of State and the Board of Trade. Other Crown appointees were: Secretary, Surveyor General, Auditor, Receiver General, Attorney General, Chief Justice, and Customs Collectors for each port. These appointees were to work with the Royal Governor and even take direction from him, but he could not remove them from office. 26 Governor Robert Johnson’s Government – 1729-1735 •Unknown – Secretary •Unknown – Provost Marshall •Unknown – Attorney General •Unknown – Surveyor General

32 1773-1774 Prelude to Revolution

In early 1773, Benjamin Franklin presented an idea for the thirteen (13) colonies to get together and discuss how to resolve the many issues between the colonies and Great Britain. His idea went unfulfilled – until the Boston Tea Party of Dec. 16, 1773, and the resulting “Intolerable Acts” of 1774, the Patriots’ name for four British Acts: The Boston Port Act, the Massa- chusetts Government Act, the Administration of Justice Act, and the Quartering Act. Many colonists viewed these collective Acts as a violation of their rights and their colonial charters. They therefore viewed these as a threat to the rightful liberties of all colonies, not just Massachusetts.

 December of 1773, South Carolinians began to assemble in a series of spontaneous meetings not sanctioned by Great Britain.

 January of 1774, one General Meeting appointed a large General Committee to monitor British abuses in SC and other colonies.

 July 1774, 104 elected representatives from all but three election districts assembled for three days in Charles Town. This group adopted resolutions making common cause with New England, and they elected five delegates for the Continental Congress:

• Christopher Gadsden • Henry Middleton • Thomas Lynch, Jr. • Edward Rutledge • John Rutledge

 The First Continental Congress met in Philadelphia, PA from September 5th to October 26th, 1774.

33 1774-1775 First Provincial Congress (1 of 5)

 November 9, 1774, SC Patriots called for a Provincial Congress

 December 19, 1774, elections held in all parishes

 January 11, 1775, the First Provincial Congress convened its first session in Charlestown, elected Council of Safety:

• Thomas Bee • Thomas Ferguson • Arthur Middleton • Miles Brewton • Thomas Heyward, Jr. • James Parson • William Henry Drayton • John Huger • Charles Cotesworth Pinckney • Benjamin Elliott • Henry Laurens • William Williamson • Rawlins Lowndes  Henry Laurens was elected President of the Council, and local committees were established all across the province

 Elected delegates to the 2nd Continental Congress, they met in Philadelphia on May 10, 1775 (same as 1st Continental Congress):

• Christopher Gadsden • Henry Middleton • Thomas Lynch, Jr. • Edward Rutledge • John Rutledge

 Henry Middleton was elected President of the 2nd Continental Congress, but he declined. John Hancock was then elected. 34 1775 First Provincial Congress (2 of 5)

 June 1, 1775, the First Provincial Congress met again in Charlestown. They ordered that three (3) regiments of Provincial Troops be established.

 June 18, 1775, Royal Governor Lord William Campbell arrived in Charlestown. He later dissolved the last General Assembly and the fled to a warship in Charlestown Harbor on September 15th.

 Also on June 18, 1775, the First Provincial Congress resolved to establish the Lower District for representation in next congress.

 Key issues addressed in the First Provincial Congress of SC:

• SC exports to Great Britain prohibited after September 1, 1775 • Committees of Observation and Inspection appointed all across the colony • Oath of Association was adopted and circulated all across the colony • Three (3) regiments of Provincial Troops were authorized

 August 7-8, 1775, elections held for the 2nd Provincial Congress.

It is very apparent that the original framers of the South Carolina State Constitution did not want a powerful Executive Branch. Almost all “real power” was vested in the Legislative Branch.

 On March 26th, the Second Provincial Congress adjourned, and on the same day, the First General Assembly convened. This new General Assembly voted to ratify the new Constitution, and South Carolina was now a State.

 All “Provincial Troops” were now “State Troops.”

 William Henry Drayton was elected Chairman of the G.A., a temporary leadership role until Speakers of the House and Legislative Council were elected on March 28th: Speaker of the House of Representatives James Parsons Speaker of the Legislative Council George Gabriel Powell

 On March 29th, the General Assembly elected new sheriffs: Beaufort District Tunis Tebout Camden District John Wylly Charles Town District Thomas Grimball* Cheraws District Henry William Harrington Georgetown District Edward Martin Ninety-Six District Robert Stark Orangeburg District Lewis Golson *Grimball was elected on 3/27

53 1776 First General Assembly (2 of 9)

 On April 9th, John Neufville resigned as one of the Commissioners of the Treasury. The General Assembly elected two:

Edward Blake William Parker

 On April 11th, the General Assembly recognized that several of the “back-country” election districts did not have standard places to hold elections. They assigned the following:

• District Eastward of Wateree River – elections to be held at Camden C.H. • District Between Broad & Catawba Rivers – elections to be held at Capt. Winn’s • New Acquisition District – elections to be held at/near Col. Thomas Neel’s • Upper (Spartan) District – elections to be held at/near Fair Forest Meetinghouse • Lower District – elections to be held at/near Meetinghouse near Adam Summers • Ninety-Six District (St. Mark’s Parish) – elections to be held at Indian Camp near Maj. Andrew Williamson’s home • Little River District – elections to be held at Hammond’s Store • Saxe-Gotha District – elections to be held at Granby

Unclear if these were just for next election or permanent.

54 1776 First General Assembly (3 of 9)

 On June 28th, the British made their first attempt to seize the city of Charlestown with simultaneous attacks on Sullivan’s Island (aka Ft. Moultrie) and Long Island (aka Breach Inlet Naval Battle). The attempt was a debacle, and this defeat kept South Carolina fairly quiet for almost three years.

 The First General Assembly was supposed to meet the second time on October 1st, but on August 2nd a courier arrived with a copy of the Declaration of Independence. On August 5th, President John Rutledge called the legislature back into session to return on September 17th. 55 1776 First General Assembly (4 of 9)

 In September, the South Carolina General Assembly acquiesced to the demands of the Continental Congress to put six (6) regiments onto the Continental Line. SC agreed, but insisted that they remain in the state. The Continental Congress did not start paying for these Continental troops until well into 1778.

 On September 16, 1776, William Moultrie and Christopher Gadsden were commissioned as Brigadier Generals in the Continental Line.

 On September 24th, the General Assembly defined where elections are to be held (apparently overlooked in 1st session): • District Between Savannah & North Fork of the Ediston – at Kelly’s Old Cowpen  On October 3rd, the General Assembly decided that the next elections to be held in the New Acquisition District will be at the home of John Carnachan and not Col. Thomas Neel’s place.

 Now that the State Constitution was ratified, the next election for the 2nd General Assembly will include the Little River District.

61 1776 2nd General Assembly (1 of 6)

 The Journals of the 2nd General Assembly are lost to history. The names identified on Slide #65 have been pieced together using various sources and must be considered to be “the best that can be determined” for now. Little River District added.

 Luckily, all Legislative Acts and Ordinances that were passed during the 2nd General Assembly have been found.

 The 2nd General Assembly worked on updating the South Carolina Constitution. In January of 1777, an Act was passed to draft the document, and it was printed in February of 1777. The debate was so intense, it took over a year to pass both houses. President John Rutledge vetoed it, then he resigned (March ‘78).

 This General Assembly elected Rawlins Lowndes as the 2nd President of South Carolina on March 7, 1778. He signed the new State Constitution on March 19, 1778, and therefore the “first” Governor of the “State” of South Carolina – he had served as President for only twelve (12) days. The new Constitution was to go into effect in November of 1778, and to serve as the basis for the upcoming 3rd General Assembly.

62 1777 2nd General Assembly (2 of 6)

 On June 27, 1777, Henry Laurens resigned as Vice President since he had been elected a Delegate to the 2nd Continental Congress. He took his seat in Philadelphia on July 22, 1777 and was elected President of the Continental Congress on October 1st. He resigned as President on December 9, 1778, but remained in the Continental Congress until November 1779.

 Also on June 27, 1777, the 2nd General Assembly elected James Parsons as the 2nd Vice President of South Carolina. In March of 1778, he became the first Lt. Governor. Parsons resigned prior to June 1, 1778.

 Since records are missing, the precise date when Thomas Bee became Lt. Governor after James Parsons’ resignation is unclear, but it is known to have been prior to June 1, 1778.

 General elections were held November 30th & December 1st of 1778 – new election districts of All Saints and Orange Parishes.

 3rd General Assembly was supposed to start on January 5th, but a quorum was not achieved until January 19th due to the threat of a British invasion from Savannah. Did not come until April.

 On January 9th, the General Assembly elected John Rutledge as Governor and Thomas Bee as Lt. Governor. There are no extant journals for the first session of this General Assembly, which met from January 5th until February 20th.

 On the night of April 28th, British Brig. Gen. Augustine Prevost invaded South Carolina near Purrysburg. He first marched along the Savannah River northward, but soon turned eastward. The Patriots harassed him continuously, but his army reached Charlestown Neck on May 11th. See next slide >> .

 Patriots stalled Prevost and forced him to retreat. Battle of Stono Ferry on June 20th, then Prevost went to Beaufort, and finally left South Carolina on July 8th.

71 1779 3rd General Assembly (3 of 10)

 Approximate route of British army – April to July in 1779

 On July 26th, the 3rd General Assembly met in a Special Session. The House Journal does not include records prior to August 31st.

72 1779-1780 3rd General Assembly (4 of 10)

 On September 4th, the French Admiral Jean Baptiste Charles Henri Hector, Compte d’Estaing brought 41 ships into Charlestown Harbor and presented his plan to retake Savannah from the British.

 Patriot forces under Maj. Gen. Benjamin Lincoln with Count d’Estaing South Carolina Continentals and Militia assisted in d’Estaing’s Siege of Savannah from September 16th to October 18th. It was a sad time for the Patriots, who lost many men in this debacle.

 On October 26th, Governor John Rutledge called for the General Assembly to re-convene on November 22nd. More tough luck. In mid-November, a significant Smallpox epidemic hit the city of Charlestown. The House of Representatives could not muster a quorum until January 26, 1780, knowing full well that a large British army was well on its way.

 General Sir Henry Clinton and Vice Admiral Mariot Arbuthnot landed over 8,500 soldiers at Edisto Island and Simmons Island on February 9th, with the clear objective of seizing Charlestown.

73 1780 3rd General Assembly (5 of 10)

 On February 1st, the 3rd General Assembly elected five delegates to the Continental Congress:

Thomas Bee – accepted, resigned as Lt. Governor Francis Kinloch Henry Laurens John Mathews Arthur Middleton Isaac Motte elected sometime in 1780

Also on February 1st, the 3rd General Assembly elected four new members of the Privy Council:

Benjamin Cattell Richard Hutson John Lewis Gervais David Ramsay

Sometime soon thereafter (date not found), the 3rd General Assembly elected Christopher Gadsden as Lt. Governor.

 The 3rd General Assembly, that finally had a quorum on January 26th, rapidly concluded their business and adjourned on February 12th, three days after the British landed its large army.

 On April 7th, Governor John Rutledge and three (3) members of the Privy Council left Charlestown to avoid capture. They ultimately ended up in Hillsborough, North Carolina.

 On May 12th, the Patriots in Charlestown capitulated to the British Army, and over 5,500 soldiers and civilians were now considered prisoners awaiting exchange. The key government officials captured were: Christopher Gadsden – Lt. Governor Thomas Ferguson – Privy Council Dr. David Ramsay – Privy Council Richard Hutson – Privy Council Peter Timothy – Clerk of the House 23 of the 29 Hugh Rutledge – Judge of the Admiralty members of Thomas Heyward, Jr. – Associate Justice Alexander Moultrie – Attorney General the civilian Arthur Middleton – Delegate to Continental Congress government Isaac Motte – Delegate to Continental Congress taken to St. Edward Rutledge – Ex-Delegate to Continental Congress John Berwick – Member of House of Representatives Augustine.

 On August 27th, the British put “the Conspirators of Charlestown” (Christopher Gadsden plus 28 other civilians) aboard the HMS Sandwich. Several days later, they sailed on the HMS Fidelity to St. Augustine. HMS Sandwich sailed on Sept. 5th with more civilian prisoners, including Arthur Middleton.

 At St. Augustine, all were required to renew their oath of parole, and Christopher Gadsden refused. He was jailed in Fort St. Mark (Castillo de San Marcos), where he remained for 42 weeks.

 After the Fall of Charlestown, many of the civilian government who also served in the state’s military slowly rebuilt the Militia units all across the state. As the British Army established posts all over South Carolina, the partisans assembled men and arms and harassed the British whenever possible.

 Governor John Rutledge made his way to Philadelphia and sought more help for South Carolina. He returned to North Carolina, eventually joined up with Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene, and returned to South Carolina in 1781.

 The “war” raged all over South Carolina and moved into North Carolina by the end of 1781. Prisoner exchanges were discussed from mid-1780 until a final agreement was signed in May of 1781. A good number of South Carolinians were exchanged in June and July of 1781, most sent from St. Augustine to Philadelphia.

 Soon after the last “major battle” in South Carolina – Eutaw Springs – on September 8th, it was not long before the British were pushed closer and closer to Charlestown. However, it would take more than another year to push them out.

 Governor John Rutledge called for new elections to be held on November 17th & 18th, to elect the 4th General Assembly, which he scheduled for January 8th. The “chaos” would slowly, but surely, evaporate and order would be restored.

 Certainly, a lot more transpired between May 12, 1780 and January 8, 1782, but most of it was simply “painful war.” It is quite amazing that South Carolina remained a State during all of this, but many folks are not even aware that the Continental Congress was seriously considering giving up SC and GA.

 On January 8th, a handful of the 4th General Assembly convened in Jacksonborough under the protection of Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene and his growing army. However, the General Assembly did not achieve a quorum until January 17th (some say 18th).

 Many of the men who had saved South Carolina from utter destruction in the past two years were elected as members for this General Assembly. Some had to excuse themselves to go lead their men in various skirmishes that continued in the lowcountry and backcountry. Francis Marion was one of these.

 On January 29th, the 4th General Assembly elected John Mathews as the next governor of South Carolina. Christopher Gadsden was first elected, but he declined. Richard Hutson was elected as the next Lt. Governor on this same date.

 On December 14th, the British Army and many Loyalists finally evacuated Charlestown. William Moultrie later wrote that this should be the day all South Carolinians celebrate as our true Independence Day.

92 1783 Context

 OK, the war is not officially over until September 3, 1783. However, the Preliminary Articles of Peace had been signed on November 30, 1782, and the British Army left South Carolina on December 14, 1782. There are no more military events.

 On April 23rd, South Carolina receives the news of the Preliminary Articles of Peace. Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene and his army celebrate with a “grand review,” followed by a feast, fireworks, and dances. A number of the elite in Charlestown come to James Island to join in the festivities.

 On June 26, 1783, Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene receives a Resolution from the Confederated Congress – furlough all troops and place all military stores in appropriate magazines. Greene leaves South Carolina in late July or early August. He stops in Wilmington, NC on August 11th.

93 1783 5th General Assembly (1 of 14)

 Elections are held statewide on November 25-26, 1782.

 The 5th General Assembly convenes on January 6th, but does not achieve a quorum until January 20th. This first session runs until March 17th. Highly divisive issues have to be decided by an orderly and broad assembly.

 The “Confiscation Act” of 1782 causes a lot of turmoil. In 1783 alone, accused Loyalists present over 250 petitions to the House of Representatives seeking relief. It is soon altered.

 Ascertaining South Carolina’s continued debt and obligations is extremely difficult and complicated by the State’s ambivalence towards the Continental Confederation, its centralized powers, and the Continental Army.

 On February 4th, Benjamin Guerard is elected Governor and Richard Beresford is elected Lt. Governor. Guerard soon makes it very clear that he is not going to be a “mere advisor” and is very proactive in prodding the General Assembly.
