The Congressman organizes his discussion of the Massachusetts Constitution by the state's main governing entities including the Massachusetts States Senate, Massachusetts House of Representatives, Massachusetts Judiciary, and Massachusetts executive branch. The Congressman is particularly critical of the current system governing proportional representation in the Massachusetts House. Much of the Congressman's speech is about organizing the structure of Massachusetts's government. The last page briefly discussing the Free-Soil Party and the issue of slavery. The Free-Soil Party was made expressly to "discourage" slavery.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: No Binding Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
