Synopsis
Excerpt from Reports of the Proceedings and Debates of the Convention of 1821, Assembled for the Purpose of Amending the Constitution of the State of New-York: Containing All the Official Documents, Relating to the Subject, and Other Valuable Matter
To those who look upon the Convention and the events connected with it, as ordinary occurrences, and who do not reflect on the nature and extent of this revolution, and its remote bearing on the future character and history of the state, a volume of seven hundred pages may appear disproportionate to the subject to which it relates. But the compilers are among those who be lieve, that the last year Will form a memorable period in the annals of the state; and that events which may now seem unimportant, from our familiari ty With them, Will hereafter assume a different character, and be sought for With avidity. Circumstantial records which now pass unheeded, may in time become valuable to the Jurist, in deciding upon the construction of the constitution; to the historian, in delineating the character of the age; or at least to the antiquary, by enriching his library, Without the labour of searching for documents, scattered amidst the rubbish and ruins of years.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of early 19th-century New York, as it chronicles the deliberations and decisions of a state constitutional convention. The excerpt provides a rich context for understanding the evolution of American democracy at a pivotal moment in its history. The book delves into the heated debate surrounding the Council of Revision, a body tasked with reviewing and potentially rejecting bills passed by the legislature. Through detailed analysis of the convention proceedings, the author examines the arguments for and against this body, drawing parallels with the structure of the United States government. The excerpt reveals a deep concern among the delegates over the potential for corruption within the legislature, and the need for safeguards to prevent the passage of harmful laws. The book ultimately highlights the complex process of balancing power between different branches of government, a theme that continues to resonate today in discussions of checks and balances within our democratic systems. The insights gleaned from this historical account provide a valuable framework for understanding the ongoing evolution of political structures in the United States.
