	New Jersey - MSN Encarta
		In East Jersey, Essex County and what later became Morris County were largely owned by the Scottish partners of the proprietors, who tried to transplant their ways to New Jersey.
		Consequently, New Jersey was one of the five states represented at the Annapolis Convention to discuss interstate commerce and was a moving force behind the calling of the Constitutional Convention.
		Assured of equality with the larger states in at least one house of Congress, New Jersey became the third state to ratify the Constitution of the United States on December 18, 1787.

	The Color of Money in New Jersey 2003
		New Jersey exemplifies the national trend: while 32% of the state's residents are people of color, only 11% of the money contributed to federal elections comes from residents of zip codes where the majority is people of color.
		The discrepancies are of comparable magnitude in New Jersey: 73.5% of federal campaign contributions came from wealthy neighborhoods; less that 22% of the adult population resides in them.
		The $410,894 contributed to the 2003 state elections by the 34,321 adults of Morristown (07960) is more than the total given by all 338,415 residents of the 29 New Jersey zip codes with the highest African-American population (all over 40%).

	Politics of Jersey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The government of Jersey is composed of the Queen of the United Kingdom, the Lieutenant Governor, the Bailiff, the Assembly of the States, and since December 2005, the Chief Minister of Jersey and his cabinet.
		Still today in Jersey, the presence of established laurels or rose gardens in old houses gives a clue to the past party adherence of former owners, and the chair of the Constable of Saint Helier in the Assembly Room of the Parish Hall still sports the carved roses of a former incumbent.
		With the prospect of ministerial government and the creation of an executive and opposition, the Jersey Democratic Alliance was formed in April 2005 at a mass rally with the intention of fielding candidates in the elections of October and November 2005.
