Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains the official report of the 1853 Convocation and includes details of the various committees' proposals to the convention. These committees presented several articles to revise the existing constitution of Massachusetts, with a particular focus on the militia. The delegates debated the extent of the proposed changes. Some argued the new constitution should contain almost no guidance on the militia, while others pushed for more detailed amendments. The convention's discussions reveal competing visions of the role of state power and the militia, which would become important in debates over slavery and secession in the United States.
