Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Transitional Period, 1788-1789, in the Government of the United States A great weakness of the Articles of Confederation was the provision requiring unanimous consent of the states to changes in the Articles, a provision which had defeated the impost, revenue and commerce amendments. The members of the Convention of 1787, therefore, fresh from these past defeats, provided in the seventh article of the Constitution that the ratification by the conventions of nine states should be sufficient for the establishment of the Constitution between the states so ratifying, a provision as necessary as it was revolutionary. But to preserve legal forms as far as possible, and to get the result of its work before the states, the Convention resolved on September 17 to submit the Constitution to Congress, to be transmitted by it to the various states in convention assembled. And in order to insure that the Constitution be put into actual operation when ratified by the requisite number of states, Congress was asked to fix a day upon which electors should be appointed, a day upon which they should assemble to cast their votes for a president, and the time and place for commencing proceedings under the new Constitution. Congress, then sitting at New York, received the Constitution and accompanying resolves on September 28, 1787, and immediately transmitted them without comment to the various state legislatures to be referred by these last to state conventions.
