Other Historical American Documents
It is not my intention to become a repository for a grand collection of
historical American documents. There are other sites that
have a large collection and the resources to nurture such a project. However,
there are some very important documents that are related to the Constitution in much the same way as the Declaration of Independence or the Articles of Confederation are. This select number of
documents are listed below. Images of some of these documents are also available.
The ratification documents of each of the original 13
states (plus Vermont) are also reproduced here:
- Delaware, December 7, 1787
- Pennsylvania, December 12, 1787
- New Jersey, December 18, 1787
- Georgia, January 2, 1788
- Connecticut, January 9, 1788
- Massachusetts, February 6, 1788
- Maryland, April 28, 1788
- South Carolina, May 23, 1788
- New Hampshire, June 21, 1788
- Virginia, June 26, 1788
