[383.] At a meeting of the Town of Plimouth Legally Assembled & held at the Court house in Plimouth June Ist 1778 by Adjournment from ye 18th of May last, the report of the Committe appointed to take into Consideration the form of Government lately Drawn up by the Convention of this state & to consider the advantages & Disadvantages . ariseing therefrom, beg leave to report that they have re- peatedly perused said Constitution with Great Candor & De- liberation, and are of opinion that many parts of it are Bot- tomed in principalls of Equall Liberty & Calculated to secure the Government from the Encroachments of Ambition and the artifices of designing rulers. Such more especially is the Establishment of Annual Elections in the several branches of the Legislature, Fundimentall in every free Gov- ernment, and the best Barrier against Corruption and the restless passions of mankind.
Your committe would be happy if they could speak with
346
PLYMOUTH RECORDS.
the same applause of every article in the Constitution; But Justice to themselves and posterity oblige them to point out several things which they apprehend are material Defects, and above all the Inequallity of the representation as Pre- scribed in the 6th Article, an Inequallity which may opper- ate to the disadvantage of this Town, bordering on the Sea Coast, whenever any Commercial Question shall be agitated in the General Assembly. The erecting a Court of Pro- bate is allso in the Judgment of your Committe an useless burthen on Society as it often unnecessarily subjects the Widdow & Fatherless to the Expence of Travelling twenty or thirty miles for the Settlement of verry small estates, which may as well be done by two or three honest men in each town. The mode of Impeaching and tenure by which many subordinate civil officers hold their commissions ap- pear to be verry exceptionable, and are Capable of Amend- ment, much for the benefit of the Community. The neces- sity of a Rotation in the offices of Governor, Lieut Governor & Senator will be evident to Every body who reflects that the appointment of many civill & all military officers is vested in the Governor & Senate, which power of appointing may en- able a sett of Enterpriseing, Intreagueing men to Establish an Intrest & Influence Through
[384.] the state that may be Dangerous To the Libertys of the people. The want of a rotation Therefore in these officers in the Constitution under Consideration is a verry Capital omission. Your Committe are further of opinion that a bill clearly ascertaining the rights of the people as men, christians and subjects, ought to have preceeded the Constitution, And these rights should be expressed in the fullest & most unequivocal Terms. Upon the whole as this Constitution is in so many parts defective; and as when once established it will probably remain unalterable. Ex- cept by coercion & violence, your Committee think that it ought to be rejected.
Joshua Thomas, Thomas Mayhew, Zacheus Bartlett Elkanah Watson.
