Massachusetts Colony To Commonwealth
Of the many constitutions drafted in this country thet of Massachusetts, adopted in 1780 is one of the most important. All the other states, except Rhode island and connecticut, adopted written constitutions during the revolution (Rhode island and connecticut merely modified their royal charters), but many of these organic instruments were hastily drafted and soon replaced. Massachusetts, the last to adopt a constitution, ended up with a carefully constructed fundamental law which has lasted.
