1787, Independent citizen
|
|
July 30, 1787 Address, in the form of a series of letters, entitled "The independent Citizen, or, the Majesty of the people asserted against the
Usurpations of the Legislature of North Carolina, in several acts of Assembly, passed in the years 1783, 1785, 1786, and 1787," and printed in Newbern in
1787. The document was addressed to W.R. Davie, a member of the Federal Convention and sometimes attributed to Archibald MacLaine. Included were
arguments which demonstrated the acts of the Assembly were preventing certain fundamental rights and needed to be changed, specifically to changes made in
the judiciary and with the right of trial by jury. See LLMC #35104 for a related document. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally
held by the Library of Congress).
