Signed: i Abstract The nature of governorship just before, during, and just after the American Revolution is a subject that has been noticeably neglected in the historiography of the Revolution. While biographies of individual governors have been written, there remains a need for a clear ideological and constitutional debate about the actual executive functions, the nature of the appointment system in place, and the constitutional role of governors across the colonial and state periods. -

“For the Security and Protection of the Community:” the Frontier and the Makings of Pennsylvanian Constitutionalism
“FOR THE SECURITY AND PROTECTION OF THE COMMUNITY:” THE FRONTIER AND THE MAKINGS OF PENNSYLVANIAN CONSTITUTIONALISM DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nathan Ross Kozuskanich, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Saul Cornell, Adviser Professor John Brooke __________________________________ Professor Margaret Newell Adviser History Graduate Program ABSTRACT Although we know a great deal about the social and political history of Pennsylvania, we know surprisingly little about its first state constitution. Admittedly, the Pennsylvania constitution was acknowledged to be an anomaly by some leading figures within the Founding generation. Still, Pennsylvania saw one of the most important experiments in constitution-making in the Anglo-American world and effected one of the true revolutions in American history. One cannot grasp the radicalism of 1776 without making sense of the coming of the Revolution in Pennsylvania and its peoples’ bold experiment in constitutional government. This dissertation unites a top down and bottom up approach to constitutional history and offers a comprehensive understanding of the 1776 Pennsylvania constitution. For the Security and Protection of the Community places the constitution within the context of the latter half of the eighteenth century and sees it as a continuation of trends begun in the French and Indian War, not as an anomaly of the Revolutionary era. The men who wrote the constitution understood civil society in Lockean terms, namely that its sole purpose was to protect life, liberty, and estate, but these ideas were adapted to the realities of colonial life on the frontier. -
The Stamp Act Crisis in North Carolina
RICE UNIVERSITY THE STAMP ACT CRISIS IN NORTH CAROLINA by Jessie A. Amos A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director's signature: -/ na vA Houston, Texas May 1977 Abstract THE STAMP ACT CRISIS IN NORTH CAROLINA Jessie A. Amos Recent accounts of the Stamp Act crisis deal with general issues as they evolved in the thirteen colonies during 1765 and 1766. Historians such as Helen M. and Edmund S. Morgan argue convincingly that these two years were decisive ones for the American colonies. There is a need, however, to study this period from a narrower viewpoint. Focusing on only one colony, North Carolina, will disclose the special nature of the resistance: that: such a successful undertaking should have been so little known outside the area. The success of North Carolina’s opposition resulted from the colony’s unique attack on Parliamentary taxation. From the outset, North Carolinians were determined to prevent the implementation of the Stamp Act. The principals in the dissenting faction were community leaders who made no attempt to conceal their identity. Their strategy included making the opposition position known to William Tryon, the royal governor, involving bystanders as a. means to augment the anti-Stamp Act forces, and avoiding violence. Similarly, Tryon met his antagonists in a peaceful manner. When his solution was rejected, Tryon continually prorogued the colony’s Assembly to squelch the opposition’s effectiveness. As a result of the controlled response by both sides, commerce continued in North Carolina, the ports and courts remained open, and the royal governor retained his authority.
