Despite the rich tradition of rights at the state level, rights in America have been identified almost exclusively with the national Bill of Rights. Indeed, there is no work that provides a comprehensive treatment of the early state declarations of rights. Rather, these declarations have been viewed as halting first steps towards the adoption of the national Bill of Rights in 1791. Bringing together the full text of the rights provisions from the 13 original states and Vermont, this book presents Americas first tradition of rights on its own terms and as part of this countrys heritage of rights. Early chapters will examine the sources of these rights and provide a comparative framework. An introduction to each chapter will review that states colonial history, focusing on any charters or legislation related to rights protections that help explain its constitutional provisions. This work will make it possible for students, scholars, and interested citizens to rediscover the first fruits of the American Revolution"--Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Rights in Colonial America: 1620-1776 -- The Rights Tradition in America's First Constitution -- Virginia -- Pennsylvania -- Maryland -- Delaware -- North Carolina -- Vermont -- Massachusetts -- New Hampshire -- South Carolina -- New Jersey -- Georgia -- New York -- Connecticut -- Rhode Island -- Rights Without Rebellion. 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 650 0 $a Civil rights $z United States $x History $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Constitutional history $z United States $x States $y 18th century. 650 7 $a Constitutional history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875777 650 7 $a Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862627 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Bopst, Christopher, $e author. 700 1 $a Kirschner, Bethany, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015220.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A74786D8CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
