Weekend Roundup

  • We've already noticed one twitter feed on Magna Carta; here is another, Canadian one.
  • On H-Law, Jon Roland points to three on-line collections: US Treasury Reports, 1789-1980; the Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789; and State constitutions in use from independence through adoption of the U.S. Constitution.  All are available from the Constitution Society, "a private non-profit organization founded in 1994 and dedicated to research and public education on the principles of constitutional republican government. It publishes documentation, engages in litigation, and organizes local citizens groups to work for reform.. . .This organization was founded in response to the growing concern that noncompliance with the Constitution for the United States of America and most state constitutions is creating a crisis of legitimacy that threatens freedom and civil rights."
  • The National History Center's first monthly newsletter is here.
Weekend Roundup is a weekly feature compiled by all the Legal History bloggers.
