Pennsylvania State Constitution of 1776. (2008)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

http:\/\/avalon.law.yale.edu\/18th_century\/pa08.asp<\/a><\/p>\n

The Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776<\/strong> (ratified September 28, 1776) has been described as the most democratic in America and was drafted by Robert Whitehill, Timothy Matlack, Dr. Thomas Young, George Bryan, James Cannon, and Benjamin Franklin. The Constitution provides for a unicameral legislature, a Supreme Executive Council, a President elected by an Assembly and Council together, and a Council of Censors. The constitution was later copied by revolutionaries of Vermont as a basis for their constitution. This site is useful as it gives us an insight into the debate over constitutional government that would culminate in 1787.<\/p>\n

Since I have received a few emails from some of you already about your week 2 assignment here is what I am looking for:<\/p>\n
A web address and then a brief, paragraph explanation on what this site is and why it is important for the topic. Not just one sentence explanation….but a few more to explain the site.<\/p>\n
Now where to up load them? This has always been a problem for this course, You can either up load then to the dropbox, which makes it easier for me…or to the webliography site….I check both.<\/p>\n
