UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
London Chronicle The U. S. Constitution
London: Sold by T. Wilkie 1787. UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. The London Chronicle "The New Plan for the Constitution of the United States of America". Vo. LXII. No. 4834-4835. From Saturday October 27 to Tuesday October 30 1787 and From Tuesday October 30 to Thursday November 1 1787. Pages 409-424. London: Sold by T. Wilkie 1787.<br> <br> Likely the first public printing of the United States Constitution in England. This newspaper printing precedes the know first edition pamphlet published by Debrett as well as the first magazine printing in "The Gentleman's Magazine." It is broadly stated that news of the United States Constitution hit England early in November however the dates of the Chronicle precede this by a few days. This copy also contains the preliminary cover letter from George Washington to the president of Congress which is usually included with early printings of the Constitution and which states Washington's strong support of ratification. "The Plan" is printed in its entirety without comment or explanation from the publisher.<br> <br> Together two issues no. 4834 and 4834. Each issue self bound along left margin. 11 3/8 x 8 5/8 inches; 288 x 222 mm. Number 4834 is four leaves pages 409-416 and number 4835 is four leaves pages 417-424. The first part of the Constitution is printed on pages 413-414 of the first part with the end stating "To be concluded in our next" and the second part is printed on pages 420-421. Both issues very good with just some slight toning. Page 421-422 trimmed close at top margin just touching header. A small red stamp on verso of first leaf of each issue along bottom margin. Overall about fine. We could find no other copies of this or any earlier British newspaper containing the US Constitution on Rare Book Hub. We could not locate any copies on OCLC or ESTC. Housed in a custom quarter red morocco clamshell.<br> <br> At the time of the Constitutional Convention John Adams was living in England as a diplomat. In a letter to John Adams from Elbridge Gerry dated September 20th 1787 just one day after the first newspapers in America printed the Constitution he states "The proceedings of the Convention being this day published I embrace the Oppertunity of transmitting them by a Vessel which is to sail this morning for London." According to the National Archives "Gerry enclosed a copy of the new U.S. Constitution. Gerry likely sent this letter to John Adams via the Prince George Capt. Strong which departed New York City in late September and arrived in London on 3 Nov. New York Independent Journal 1 Sept. 1787 2 Feb. 1788." This shows that it would have been impossible for news of the Constitution to arrive in England much before this date of November 3rd. Lengthy searches turn up no indication that any other British publication has a copy of the US Constitution before this London Chronicle printing. The National Archives go on to state "The U.S. Constitution was adopted on 17 Sept. 1787 and British newspapers first published the text in late autumn. The London Chronicle printed the preamble and the first article in its 27-30 Oct. issue and the remaining articles and signatures in its 30 Oct. - 1 Nov. issue. "<br> <br> The London Chronicle was a thrice weekly newspaper also known for being " one of the first to break the news that the United States had declared independence from the British Empire reporting on the event in its 13 August 1776 edition. It was also one of the first to publish the declaration in its entirety in the 15-17 August 1776 edition but containing no explanation or comment as to what it was" Wikipedia. This holds true for their publication of the Constitution as well.<br> <br> United States Constitution now the longest continuing charter of a national government in the world and "the product of a revolution in political thought at least as important and far-reaching as the winning of American independence from Great Britain and the culmination of the intellectual ferment and political experimentation in the new republic" Richard B. Bernstein Are We to Be a Nation.<br> <br> HBS 69121.<br> <br> $20000. Sold by T. Wilkie unknown

United States, Congress, House of Representatives, Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on the Constitution
To Examine the Impact and Effectiveness of the Voting Rights Act; Hearing before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives One Hundred Ninth Congress First Session October 18 2005
Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. iv 1580 pages. Illustrations. Occasional footnotes. Serial No. 109-70. Format is approximately 5.75 inches by 9.25 inches. Cover has some wear and soiling. This is the first of a series of hearings that the Subcommittee planned to hold examining the Voting Rights Act also known as the VRA. It had been 25 years since Congress last extended the number of the temporary provisions of the VRA. Six provisions were scheduled to expire in 2007 including sections 4 5 6 7 8 and 203. These hearings will examine the impact of the Voting Rights Act over the last several decades and its continued role in protecting minority voting rights. The ability of our citizens to cast a ballot for their preferred candidate ensures that every voice is heard most importantly the right to vote safeguards our freedoms and all other rights enshrined in the Constitution. The sacredness of the right to vote is reflected in the protection afforded by the 15th amendment which States ''the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race color or previous condition of servitude.'' For too many of our fellow citizens in our history this has not always been the case. Our country has had a troubled history of invidious and disparate treatment in the most fundamental process of a democracy namely voting. The VRA pushed back against this history and challenged racial discrimination from a number of different angles. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

Christian leaders demanded that the Government institution of the Postal Office not work on Sunday as their God had deemed this the Sabbath. The following document discusses that while many Christians observe the Sabbath on Sunday others including their Jewish neighbors observe the Sabbath on Saturday. Demanding that the government institution not work on Sunday for religious reasons goes directly against the Constitution. The report states "With these different religious views the committee are of opinion that congress cannot interfere.-It is not the legitimate province of the legislature to determine what religion is true or what false. Our government is a civil and not a religious institution. Our constitution recognizes in every person the right to choose his own religion and to enjoy it freely without molestation. Whatever may be the religious sentiments of citizens and however variant they are alike entitled to protection from the government so long as they do not invade the rights of others." It goes on to powerfully state "Extensive religious combinations to effect a political object are in the opinion of the committee always dangerous. This first effort of the kind calls for the establishment of a principle which in the opinion of the committee would lay the foundation for dangerous innovations upon the spirit of the Constitution and upon the religious rights of the citizens. If admitted it may be justly apprehended that the future measures of government will be strongly marked if not eventually controlled by the same influence. All religious despotism commences by combination and influence; and when that influence begins to operate upon the political institutions of a country the civil power soon bends under it and the catastrophe of other nations furnishes an awful warning of the consequence."<br> <br> The five-person committee for this report consisted of Richard Johnson of Kentucky who later went on to serve as the country's 9th vice president under Martin Van Buren as well as future President John Tyler of Virgina Ellis of Mississippi Silsbee of Massachusetts and Johnson of Louisiana.<br> <br> "The opening of post offices on Sunday led to a national debate about the relationship of the federal government to the Sabbath day. The argument which raged from 1810 to 1830 involved whether the national government would exist as a secular commercial republic committed to a separation of church and state or as a Christian commonwealth. The U.S. postmaster general Gideon Granger responded by persuading Congress in 1810 to pass legislation to open all 2300 post offices seven days a week and transport mail every day. Congress immediately began to receive petitions from numerous religious denominations urging repeal of the law. Under strong public pressure House and Senate committees formed to study the postal law. While the chair of the House committee waffled on the subject the head of the Senate committee swayed Congress to keep the law. Gen. Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky a devout Baptist wrote in the committee's 1829 report that congressional action to stop Sunday mail would be unconstitutional. Johnson reminded Americans that they had religious freedom and that government had no right to coerce the religious homage of anyone. The invention of the telegraph in 1844 ultimately spelled the end of Sunday mail. It was now possible to get market information without the mail system. By the 1850s postmaster generals were eliminating the movement of most mail on Sunday." Free Speech Center Caryn E. Neumann.<br> <br> HBS 69246.<br> <br> $1750. Kentucky unknown
