Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book comprises the Massachusetts Constitution adopted in 1780. Comprising eight articles and 190 amendments, it remains the longest-serving constitution of any U.S. state or national government. As the oldest functioning written constitution in continuous effect in the world, this state document is notable for being a key document in the history of constitutionalism and representative government both in the United States and in the world. Its provisions on the separation of powers and the bill of rights have been widely influential and established a framework of government that is still in effect today in many parts of the globe. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the foundational principles of government and law as they existed during and shortly after the formation of the United States of America.
