Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Federalism in North Carolina, Vol. 9 When the delegates of the patriot party of North Carolina met at Halifax in 1776 to form a constitution for the new-born state, two clearly defined factions appeared. A perfect unity of sentiment existed between these factions in all things that appertained to a vigorous prosecution of the war against England; while wide differences of view obtained as to the character to be given to the constitutional document about to be formed. One faction inclined toward a government of democratic type with every department faithfully reflecting the popular will. The other wished the constitution to provide a government less directly subject to popular influence. The former forecasted a new and mighty force in the worlds history: American Democracy. The latter exemplified the force of conservatism even in transplanted Englishmen, colonials who retained a profound faith in and regard for the English constitution as it then existed. The American idea, however, predominated in the Halifax convention and the mild type of democracy which it then embodied characterized the constitution which was evolved. The weaker faction acquiesced gracefully in the result, the war soon absorbing the energies of all. But with the coming of peace and assured independence from the mother country the old line of cleavage between radicals and conservatives reappeared as new issues arose and new conditions were to be met.
