Georgia Supplemental Documents Ratification of the Constitution by the States
Details
The supplemental documents are intended to provide a fuller documentation and understanding of the debate over the ratification of the Constitution in Georgia than was possible in the printed volume of the Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution (Wisconsin Historical Society Press/Center for the Study of the American Constitution). This supplement contains official documents, letters, and newspaper items which amplify Georgians' concern over their conflict with the Indians and their actions on the Constitution. Except for some photographic reproductions (facsimiles), the documents consist mostly of literal transcripts. The documents are arranged chronologically except for those on particular subjects which are grouped together. These groupings are: -- The Georgia Assembly Elects Delegates to the Constitutional Convention, 16 January-10 February 1787 -- Newspaper Reports of the Election of Convention Delegates, 8-29 December 1787 -- The Georgia Assembly Provides for the Expenses of the Convention, 16, 23, 24 January 1788 -- Letters from Joseph Clay, Savannah, 4 April-20 August 1788. This Supplement contains 6 facsimiles totaling 76 individual pages. These facsimiles provide a visual representation of original documents, some of which were difficult or impossible to transcribe.
