		Vermont adopted a new constitution in 1786, the year before the assembling of the Convention, but it differed very slightly from her constitution of 1777, which was a copy of the Pennsylvania constitution of 1776.
		The governor is to be chancellor and surrogate-general, and the governor and the legislative council are to constitute a court of appeals.
		But the most curious part of this constitution was that it provided for a council of censors, two from each city and county, who were to see that the constitution was not violated and that all departments of government did their duty.

	Fisher: Evolution of the Constitution of the United States
		Of the seventeen constitutions of 1776, eight were put in operation in the year 1776, three in 1777, and one in 1778.
		When the National Constitution was submitted to the people, great complaints were made that it contained no bill of rights, and when the States finally agreed to adopt it it was with the understanding that a bill of rights should immediately be added by way of amendment.
		In the body of the Constitution itself — the political frame-work proper — there is little or nothing that can be traced to the forms of the British government as it existed in 1787, or at any other time for hundreds of years previous.

	Maryland Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The current Constitution of Maryland, which was ratified by the people of the state on September 18, 1867, forms the basic law for the U.S. state of Maryland.

	Original and Early State Constitutions
		The Delaware Constitution of 1776 demanded an acceptance of the Trinity by its religious test/oath.
		The treatment of religion in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is notably different from the provisions in state constitutions; not only are the national clauses noticeably shorter in both number and length, but the completeness of their prohibitions is unprecedented--no religious tests, no establishments, no laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion.
		This study of state constitutions in the founding period reveals both a wide variety of provisions concerning religion and a quick turnover of these clauses when constitutions were modified.

		This lesson looks at the 1776 Maryland Constitution in order to show the limits of early American democratic ideals, and to bring out the various factions at the time that were fighting for new rights.
		The ruling Maryland gentry, for example, were loath to break from Britain, since many of their rights and privileges stemmed from the crown's government.
		Other Maryland delegates, however, believed the 1776 Convention to be the opportunity to expand voting rights to ordinary citizens, regardless of their property qualifications.
