Thomas Hutchinson: Traitor to Freedom? Abstract Thomas Hutchinson is perhaps one of the most controversial figures of the American Revolution. His Loyalist bent during a time when patriotism and devotion to the American cause was rampant and respected led to his being the target of raids and protests. His actions, particularly his correspondence to Britain regarding the political actions of Bostonians, caused many to question his motives and his allegiance. The following paper will examine Thomas Hutchinson’s Loyalist beliefs, where they originated, and how they affected his political and everyday life. It will examine Thomas Hutchinson’s role during America’s bid for freedom from the Mother Country.

  • 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.

  • Presidential Illness and Disability: the Health And
    PRESIDENTIAL ILLNESS AND DISABILITY: THE HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE OF PRESIDENTS FROM 1789-1901 A THESIS IN Political Science Presented to the Faculty of the of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by CHAD LAWRENCE KING B.A., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2008 Kansas City, Missouri 2013 © 2013 CHAD LAWRENCE KING ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PRESIDENTIAL ILLNESS AND DISABILITY: THE HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE OF PRESIDENTIAL TICKETS FROM 1789-1901 Chad Lawrence King, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2013 ABSTRACT Presidential health and performance has been a subject of study by both political scientists and historians, many of whom have examined the health of our nation’s presidents. This study of presidential history is not new. Many monographs and articles have examined this subject in great detail. While these have led to new interpretations of presidential history, they are inadequate for understanding the problem that presidential ill health and disability have presented during our nation’s history. Most studies focus only on the twentieth century and the importance of health into the modern presidency. While the focus of health on the modern presidency has greatly changed our understanding of individual presidents and their effect on history, it nonetheless presents only a partial picture of the problem, since it neglects the effect of presidential health during the early years of the republic. I argue that presidential health has always been of prime importance and its effect is certainly not limited to recent decades. This study will also focus, when appropriate, on the health of the vice president during certain administrations.

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.

    Resources for Teachers John Trumbull’s Declaration of Independence CONVERSATION STARTERS • What is happening with the Declaration of Independence in this painting? o The Committee of Five is presenting their draft to the President of the Continental Congress, John Hancock. • Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson apparently told John Trumbull that, if portraits couldn’t be painted from life or copied from other portraits, it would be better to leave delegates out of the scene than to poorly represent them. Do you agree? o Trumbull captured 37 portraits from life (which means that he met and painted the person). When he started sketching with Jefferson in 1786, 12 signers of the Declaration had already died. By the time he finished in 1818, only 5 signers were still living. • If you were President James Madison, and you wanted four monumental paintings depicting major moments in the American Revolution, which moments would you choose? o Madison and Trumbull chose the surrender of General Burgoyne at Saratoga, the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, the Declaration of Independence, and the resignation of Washington.
