Description
Edmund Morgan says this is the most thorough study of popular conventions, which are unique since they were assertions of the people to establish policy independent of the existing legislature and government. These were a precedent by which Massachusetts enacted the first constitutional convention as an actual act both by the people in the strongest sense and independent of the legislature, which had attempted a constitution which had been rejected. Smith's text is apparently mostly about popular acts to control the prices of necessaries.
