8pp [pp. 371-378], folio, stitched, lightly browned, light wear. Very Good. This imprint demonstrates Connecticut's adaptation to the new "Constitution, agreed upon by the Convention of the United States." The General Assembly enacts legislation prescribing election procedures for Senators and Representatives to Congress. Another Act requires all legislative, executive, and judicial officers of the State to "support the Constitution, agreed upon by the Convention of the United States, and ratified by the Convention of this State." Another Act suspends all suits brought in Connecticut by any citizen of recalcitrant Rhode Island, which had failed to ratify the Constitution and had passed disabling legislation against citizens of Connecticut. In recognition of the Constitution's establishment of a national free-trade zone and Congress's power over foreign commerce, Connecticut repeals its import duties. This is the "official issue" [Evans], with other printings in New London and Hartford. FIRST EDITION. Evans 21748. Bates 288. ESTC W7639 [4- AAS, HSP, Huntington, Pequot].
