		Treaties are generally composed of very exactly worded or legal texts, which do not vary down to the last "and", "but" or "comma".
		The treaty signing incentive moved from district to district, and it was not clear, in March 1840, if the majority of the country would be ceded in sovereignty to Queen Victoria or not.

		The document was never issued by the Government for use in the Treaty signing assemblies, but Reverend Robert Maunsell, who had acquired it by some means, chose to use it as a repository for signatures in lieu of the large "official" Treaty document (in Maori) which had not arrived in time for his meeting.
		Copies of the Treaty were made by Freeman and dispatched from the Bay of Islands with Henry Williams on the Ariel and overland by Captain W. Symonds.
		The only area within the wording of the Treaty, where the missionaries were concerned that the chiefs might not understand the full implications of what they had agreed to, related to "selling their land directly to the Queen's representative" and having no right to sell it directly to the settlers.

		Easton remembers the Indian treaty ** In the 1750s, the city was the center of talks to end war with tribes.
		By the time treaty negotiations began in the late 1750s, the Quakers -- who had ceased to be a force in Pennsylvania government - - were called in to participate in the talks.

	The CFE Treaty
		Though the treaty was negotiated in a multilateral forum, it is firmly rooted in the alliance formations of the cold war-NATO and the WTO.
		The lengthy period of implementation is due to the overwhelming complexity of the treaty and the monumental task of either removing or destroying a vast array of equipment-roughly 32,000 pieces of treatylimited equipment (TLE) for the Warsaw Pact and 16,000 for NATO.
		The preamble of the treaty includes a clause that commits the signatories to strive "to replace military confrontation with a new pattern of security relations based on peaceful cooperation."7 Though the agreement is very specific in its technical content, it does not provide any description about how these new "patterns" are to be accomplished.

	Brian Easton » FOR WHOM THE TREATY TOLLS
		It is this intangible, but supplemented, English social contract which made necessary the third article of the treaty: the “tikanga” provision says that the Maori signatories would have the same rights and duties as the people of England.
		The treaty says that the property rights the Maori had before its signing were retained after, and the government was not to alienate them without Maori consent.
		That is why it is so vital that we should honour the Treaty of Waitangi, and remedy the grievances which have arisen from the past dishonouring — in the words of John Donne.
