1788réf. 69689Boston: Adams and Nourse 1788. UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. First edition of the proceedings leading to the Massachusetts Compromise being the ratification of the U.S. Constitution by the sixth of the needed nine States. Octavo in fours 7 1/8 x 4 1/2 inches; 180 x 115 mm. 219 1 blank pp. An early printing of the proposed Constitution appears on pages 3-19. Contemporary full speckled sheep. Boards scuffed and worn. Front outer hinge is cracked but holding firm. Without front free endpaper. Leaf U2 with one-inch closed tear no loss. Leaves are foxed and toned as usual for American paper of this time. Still overall a very good copy. Housed in a custom brown quarter calf clamshell. "Getting approval for the new Constitution was no small feat. Anti-federalists feared that the Constitution would over-centralize government and restrict individual liberties. They demanded changes and a Bill of Rights to guarantee personal freedoms. Federalists on the other hand argued that states should accept the proposed Constitution without further changes. When these opposing views clashed in Massachusetts an agreement- known as the Massachusetts Compromise- was brokered by two famous local statesmen John Hancock and Samuel Adams. Under it Massachusetts ratified the Constitution becoming the sixth U.S. state while also proposing future amendments including a Bill of Rights. The Massachusetts Compromise was used as a model by other states to reach similar agreements. Without it the U.S. Constitution may never have been ratified at all." from Bridgewater State University "Although the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia finished their work in September 1787 a ratification process of many months remained ahead before the Constitution could become the system of government for the new country. For this to happen at least 9 of the 13 states had to approve the document and Massachusetts was at the crux of that lineup. In January 1788 the Massachusetts convention met in the Old State House to address the matter; at that time Delaware Pennsylvania New Jersey Georgia and Connecticut had already ratified the Constitution. The remaining states watched the proceedings in Boston closely anticipating a close vote that could fall either way. Massachusetts had the largest convention of any state and a fundamental disagreement divided the 364 delegates: Federalists supported a strong central government and the Constitution as written; Anti-Federalists held that a centralized government would concentrate power in the hands of the elite and lead to the dissolution of the democratic ideals espoused during the Revolution. The turning point in the debate in Boston came when Gov. John Hancock proposed that Massachusetts recommend several amendments to the Constitution including a Bill of Rights. This proposal effectively gave voice to many of the Anti-Federalist concerns and after Revolutionary leader Samuel Adams spoke in favor of Hancock's "conciliatory proposition" a sufficient number of delegates shifted their positions to approve ratification. Massachusetts ratified the United States Constitution on February 6 1788 by a vote of 187 to 168. In June when New Hampshire came on board as the ninth state to ratify adoption of the Constitution was guaranteed. Its formal enactment on April 30 1789 coincided with George Washington's inauguration as the first president of the United States." Massachusetts Historical Society "In Massachusetts anti-federalist opposition to the Constitution was significant. In order to mollify their concerns convention delegate Theophilus Parsons added nine amendments which were presented by John Hancock. The Constitution was ratified by Massachusetts with the amendments added as a recommendation to "remove the fears and quiet the apprehensions of many of the good people of this Commonwealth and more effectually guard against an undue administration of the federal government." Three of these recommendations would become the Fifth Seventh and Tenth Amendments of the Constitution. The sixth state to ratify the Constitution Massachusetts was the first to suggest amendments which in turn led directly to the passage of the Bill of Rights." Freemans Evans 21242. Sabin 45702.

1787réf. 69121London: 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. 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. 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. 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. " 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. 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.
