Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a careful analysis of the historical proceedings which led to the House of Representatives of Massachusetts being unable to settle on a Speaker following an election in 1843. Through a thorough examination of source material and relevant laws from that era, this book pieces together the events which unfolded during those unprecedented four days, which included intense debates and a sustained focus on the powers and duties of the Clerk of the House. The author draws connections between the early development of the House of Representatives in Massachusetts to the British Parliament, tracing influences and establishing a deep historical context for the events in question. This book also examines the fundamental principles of free and equal representation, providing insight into the debate surrounding these principles which took center stage as the House grappled with the question of whether a person had the right to take a seat in the House without being returned as such by the selectmen of the town they claimed to represent.
