Scope and Content: The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ((M-Ar)29X) was adopted in 1780 (see: Massachusetts archives collection ((M-Ar)45X, v. 160, 276-277)), as the result of a constitutional convention convened in 1779 and 1780. It contained a provision (Const Pt 2, C 6, Art 10) providing for taking, in 1795, the sense of the people as to the expediency or necessity of revising the original instrument. But no such revision was deemed necessary at that time.
Notes: In keeping with traditions established in the colonial period, the state secretary is custodian of foundation records of the Commonwealth, including this series
