	The Constitutional History of New York
		Charles O'Conor, for many years one of the leaders of the New York bar, devoted his great talents to the work of the Convention, giving to it his close attention, and bestowing on it the results of a large experience in the practice of his profession.
		The abolition of the court of chancery, and the reconstruction of the supreme court, by the Constitution of 1846, required a change in the composition of the court for the trial of impeachments; and the judges of the court of appeals were substituted for the chancellor and judges of the supreme court.
		One ground of criticism against the court of errors, stated in the Convention of 1846, was that the court had never declared a statute unconstitutional.

		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.
