| Summary |
In the movement for ratification of the Constitution by the thirteen states, North Caroline lagged far behind. It was the seventh state to call a ratifying convention and the only state in which two conventions were necessary. Nearly a year and a half elapsed between the first convention and final ratification. However, no state worked more diligently to secure amendments to the new plan of government than did North Carolina. This study is an attempt to present the story of these efforts and to analyse the Influences and motives which caused such strenuous opposition to the federal Constitution. Moreover, an effort has also been made to offer helpful suggestions to teachers who may be called upon to teach this vitally important phase of American history. |
