Votes and Proceedings of the General Assembly of the State of New-Jersey, 1787 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book examines the proceedings of the Twelfth General Assembly of New Jersey, which convened October 22, 1787. The session began with the election of Ephraim Harris as Speaker, followed by the selection of Maskell Ewing as Clerk. The Assembly appointed committees to address various matters, including the establishment of a law for printing the laws and minutes of the legislature, the settlement of accounts between the state and the United States, and the examination of expired or expiring laws. Petitions from various groups and individuals were presented, including a request for a law to establish ferries across the Delaware River, a petition to ban from the state those who fought with the British during the war, and a memorial seeking a duty on nails to support a local nail manufactory. Several bills were introduced, covering topics such as trade, taxation, and public works, and a significant portion of the session was dedicated to considering and debating these measures. The book offers insights into the political and economic climate of New Jersey in the post-Revolutionary era and provides valuable documentation of the foundational laws and debates that shaped the state's development during a pivotal period in its history.
