Synopsis
Excerpt from The Virginia Committee System and the American Revolution
This study of the Virginia committee system in its rela tionship to the American Revolution has been made in the main from source material, much of which has been utilized by writers who have studied these committees as isolated units rather than as parts of a well developed system. The author believes that an institutional and historical continu ity runs through the committee system of the Virginia legis lature, and that these committees are connected in a vital and intimate way with the so-called revolutionary commit tees of the transition period from colony to commonwealth. To show the continuity, to explain the organization of the committees of the Virginia House of Burgesses, and to show their part in the calling of the first Continental Con gress is the purpose of this study. It was at first intended to include the results of an investigation of the so-called revolutionary committees (the Virginia Committee of Safety and the local committees) but any adequate treat ment of these organizations would have carried this study far beyond the usual limits of a dissertation. I have fol lowed out the activities of these committees and hope soon to publish my findings as a continuation of this study.

The Virginia Committee System and the American Revolution (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the development of the Virginia committee system in its relationship to the American Revolution and the later establishment of the United States. It analyzes the rise and development of the legislative committee system of the Virginia House of Burgesses, offering insights into the broader historical context of colonial government in America. The book demonstrates how this system gradually expanded and gained importance and how, by the time of the American Revolution, it had evolved into a congressional or committee form of government. Through a thoughtful examination of legislative committees, this book unravels the institutional and historical continuity that runs through the committee system of the Virginia legislature, showing how these committees were connected in a vital and intimate way with the so-called revolutionary committees of the transition period from colony to commonwealth. By studying the organization, personnel, and activities of these committees, the author uncovers important results and brings forth new conclusions regarding their operation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334978265_0
