North Carolina wants to reconsider ratifying the Constitution...



Item # 578024

December 31, 1788

THE MASSACHUSETTS CENTINEL, Boston, Massachusetts, December 31, 1788  Page 2 has "Of North Carolina" which includes: "Our General Assembly is now sitting...many of the counties have petitioned for writs of elections for a new Convention to reconsider & ratify the Constitution on the part of this state. The antifederalists are still numerous, & very many of them callous to reason..." with more (see photos). Page 3 has a list of the "Federal Register" showing the names of senators already chosen (see photos).  A few other items have some reference to the new Constitution.
Four pages, very nice condition.
