Dutson by STELLA DAY Marge Barton The study of history has tives to this Congress. However, the other ten Colonies were represented by dedicated men who always been fascinating to me, especially world history. We have many volumes of history In our own library, thus I can read history to my heart's content, without worrying about getting the books back to the library. Now that the weather is so cold it freezes your breath, I am content to stay home and read. This week I am reading "The Story of the Constitution of the United States" by Sol Bloom. To me this document and the story of how the Constitution of the U.S. came into existence, is just as interesting as any other novel I have ever read. The early settlers of the United States were mostly English and the people of England had more freedom than any of the other European countries. Thus, the colonists were used to doing about as they pleased. They were so busy trying to make a living In this new underdeveloped country that they had little use for central government. The early settlers were mostly interested in their religious liberty and they thought little about laws of the land, since they lived by the regulations of their different religious beliefs. England did not require any taxes from them at first. After the French and Indian War, which lasted until 1763, England was left with a large war debt and of course she expected the American Colonies to help pay for that debt, especially because she had driven the French Government out of the northern land between the Mississippi River and Maine and from the Great Lakes as far south as Florida. The colonists insisted that all taxes should originate In the legislative bodies of each of the 13 original colonies. This was the beginning of the struggle which led to the meeting of the First Continental Congress on September 5, 1774, In Carpenter's Hall in Philadelphia. This congress was attended by representatives of 12 of the colonies. Georgia was not represented. Rhode Island and Connecticut elected their representa- 4 just attended the Congress to make sure that their colony was well represented. The Congress decided that each colony, no matter how small or how wealthy, could have but one vote. This contained rule throughout the Revolutionary War and until the Constitution of the United States came Into effect. The First Continental Congress was proceeded by the Stamp Act Congress held in New York, but only attended by nine of the original colonies. At this Congress petitions were framed called the Declaration of Rights and sent to the Parliament and King of England, in 1765. The First Continental Congress decided to boycott all English goods, among other decisions, but before adjourning, the delegates voted to have another meeting of the Continental Congress if circumstances required such a meeting. Britian was determined to bring the colonies to terms and by the time the Second Continental Congress met May 15, 1776 the British forces were being besieged In Boston by the colonies. George Washington was chosen as the commander of the Colonial Forces and we are all very much aware of the starving armies at Valley Forge. When the war was finally over and the colonies had to form a government of their own, the real struggle began, since each colony was used to its own laws and regulations, and the small colonies wanted just as much recognition as the large Colonies. In order for each of us to appreciate the struggles the founders of our Constitution went through to form a lasting Constitution, we must remember that throughout this whole world there was not which another Nation was not ruled by a monarch. Our Founding Fathers set the example for the whole world to follow.
