Description
Summary:Start with the almost 250-page cumulative index in Volume XXIII of The Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution, or DHRC, the last of five volumes on ratification in New York. Predictably, it includes the names of hundreds of people and places associated in one way or another with the ratification of the Constitution in New York. It also includes entries for the major issues in the ratification debates --- army, standing; balanced government; bills of rights; elections (Congress's power to set aside state provisions for Congressional elections in Article I, Section 4, provoked a lot of opposition); militia; President; religious tests (for office); representation; supremacy clause, and taxation, which has almost five columns of sub-entries.
