The Constitution of 1650
This is the first code of laws drawn up by the civil government of the United English Colonies, which would later become the United States of America. In his work, *Democracy in America*, Alexis de Tocqueville refers to this constitution and bases his entire argument on these laws. The attentive reader will find in these pages the source of democracy’s power, namely civil government. The book is essential reading for those studying the social sciences and law.
