This is the first of three volumes documenting Rhode Island’s private and non-private debates about the Constitution. This documentary series is a research tool of remarkable power, an unrivaled reference work for historical and legal scholars, librarians, and students of the Constitution. The volumes are encyclopedic, consisting of manuscript and printed documents-latest newspapers, broadsides, and pamphlets-compiled from hundreds  of sources, copiously annotated, thoroughly indexed, and regularly accompanied  by microfiche supplements.  Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Michael Kammen has noted that The Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution series “can be of enduring value centuries hence” and described it as “one of the crucial interesting documentary publications we’ve got ever had.”  The American Bar Association Journal has stated, “Each and every new volume now fills every other necessary a part of the mosaic of national history.”
