 Sullivan - History of New York State 1523-1927
The Supreme Court of the State is even more like the provincial Supreme Court, and the county courts are substantially the same as the Courts of Common Pleas which functioned in each county from 1691 to the end of the Crown period in 1775, and from the beginning of the State period to 1847.
New York City was apparently recognized as the logical State headquarters of the court, for the office of the clerk was to be there, and in it all court papers were to be filed, the deputy clerk at Albany forwarding the papers of' that office to New York every half-year.
New York State was rapidly growing; its population was rapidly changing in character; the conservative provincial families were being outnumbered by the thousands of immigrant families that debarked at New York and settled in different parts of the State, the change being most evident after the opening of the Erie Canal.

 The State and Revolution — Chapter 4
For, in order to abolish the state, it is necessary to convert the functions of the civil service into the simple operations of control and accounting that are within the scope and ability of the vast majority of the population, and, subsequently, of every single individual.
In the usual argument about the state, the mistake is constantly made against which Engels warned and which we have in passing indicated above, namely, it is constantly forgotten that the abolition of the state means also the abolition of democracy; that the withering away of the state means the withering away of democracy.
Democracy is a state which recognizes the subordination of the minority to the majority, i.e., an organization for the systematic use of force by one class against another, by one section of the population against another.

With such a departure as this from the high standards of the apostolic church, it is not surprising that true spiritual leaders and their followers separated from the dominant church.

Delegates from the smaller states opposed direct election of the President because they feared that such an election would be dominated by the larger states.

These votes will then be certified by state authorities and sent to Washington where they will be opened and counted by the President of the Senate in the presence of all the Senators and Representatives.
