         ORIGIN, PURPOSE AND RESULT


                        OF THE




HARRISBURG CONVENTION OF 1788,


     STUDY IN POPULAR GOVERNMENT


                         BY

             PAUL LEICESTER FORD.


 In our Government the real power lies in the majority of the com-
munity and the invasion of... rights is chiefly to be apprehended, not
from the acts of Government contrary to the sense of its constituents, but
from the acts in which the Government is the mereinstrument of the major
number of the constituents.-Madison.









                 BROOKLYN, N. Y.
                        189o.
