Simultaneously with, and fcynscquent upon, the Declara tion of Independence, a provision tor an adequate national government becime so manifestly indispensable, that, on the 11th day of June, 1776, it. was resolved by Congress, . that a committee be appointed to prepare and digest the form of a confederation to be entered into between the .colonies. And after due deliberation, the Article of (km federation were agreed to in Congress, :on the 1 5th of No vember, 1777, subject to the ratification of the several - States. It was not nntil the 1st of March, 1731, these Ar . tides were fully ratified; and no sooner were they ratified--. and indeed before they had been fully ratified than it was found that the.powers conferred by them upon Congress were totollylnaaequale'to the indispensable purposes of a ; -" national government. The defects first became apparent 1 in the want of necessary means of raising a revenue, and . , next in the absence of power to regulate or coqtrol the foreign trade and commerce of the country: and on the 2d of February, 17B1, a member from Hew Jersey, pioved a recommendation to the States, in pursuance of the provis . ions of the 18th Article of the Confederation, "that Cott- Uirvss oe vested wuu auatuuuai puwen vt- yrvMM , ibr paying the public debt, and prosecuting the existing ' ' war, by laying duties" on imports and prize goods."

In the Congress of the Confederation, ' . on Monday December 16th, 1782, n elaborate report was made by a committee consisting of Mr. Hamilton, Mr. 1 Madison, and Mr. Fitzsimmons, in the shape of an address, -the object oi which was to induce Rhode inland to re-eon- a i i . i . f i i a eiuer uer rerusai, out i iaiiea oi sucoests. -The subject, was again brought up -in Congress on the '18th of April, 17SS, when ressTutions were pessed reebm- mianHinflf. iA iliak oaram 1 Cfaiftaaai fai m.Asi ll.A ff1nniraNM4 with certain specified powers, for raising revenue to restore and. - maintain the public credit, Ac . These res ilutions were transmitted to the sevattsV States, wit an address, pre hred by a committee, consisting of Mr. Madison, Mr. Ells worth and Mi. Hamilton, and adopted by Congress on the 26th of April, 17d3.- Tbe action of the States biing exceed ingly tardy, the matter was again brought np in Congr jes on . ' the SOth Of 'April, 1781. Ou that day Congress took into consideration tbe report of a .committee, consistiug of Messrs. Gerry,. Reed, Williamson, Cbsse and Jefferson, to whom were referred sundry letters and papers relative to commercial matters, and camo to the following resolu tions: , "Jtesolvfd, Tbat.it be, and it hereby is, recommended to the Legislatures of the several States, to vest the United States in Congress assembled, for tbe term of fifteen years, with power to prohibit any goods, ware's or merchandise, from being imported into, or exported from, any of the States, in vessels belonging to or navigated by, the sub jects of any power with whom these States shall not have' ;formed:treaties' of. commerce. - Bteotved, That it be, and it is hereby recommended to the Legislatures of tbe several States, to vest the United States lA Congress assembled, for the term of fifteen years, with the power of prohibiting the subjects of any foreign State, Kingdom orKmpire,Qnle3saulGorixed by treaty, from importing into the United States any goods, wares, or mer chandise, -tsjiieh are not the produce or manufacture of the dominion of the Sovereign who-e subjects they are; Pro vided, That to all acts of the United States in Congress assembled, in pnnraan&.of the above powers, the assent of nine States shall be necessary." . . -' . . - The .consent of all the States being necessary to vest Congress with the powers required, and but few of the States having given that power, the subject wa3 again con mdered'in Congress July the 13th, 17iV On that day Con grass agreed to a report of a committee, consisting of Messrs. Monroe, Spaight, Houston, Johnson and Sing, with a view to obtain the desired power by an amendment to the ninth Article of the Confederation, vesting in Con gress the power of regulating trade, Ac. .Similar proceed ings to the foregoing were bad in Congress of the Confed eration at different times, in the year 1786, but it was &nnd impossible to get all the States to agree npon the powers necessary to enable tbe government to regulate trade an! commerce, and collect a revenne adequate to tbe demands of the national treasury. It, therefore, became evident that some other plan must be adopted, in order to sermonise the conflicting Views and interests oi the differ ent States. A plan was lipally alien npon which had been first recommended by the State of New York,' as early as July, 1782. The Legislature of thst State then adopted a aenes of resolutions, of which the following is the closing "Boohed, That it appears to this Legislature, that the foregoing important ends can never be attained by partial - deliberations of the States, separately; but that it ises- aential to the common welfare lhat-there should be as Boon as possible a conference of the whole on the subject ; and that it would be advisable for this purpose to propose to ' Congress to recommend, and to each State to adopt, the measure of assembling a general Convention of the States, pecially authorised to revite and amend the Confeder ttoft reserving a right to the respective Legislatures to .ratify their determinations." : - . . .T.li,liini w,a lh firat 8ato to appoint missftmers ' for that purpose. On the Urh of September, 17dtVCom mssioners from the States of New" York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania Delaware and Virginia assembled at Annap olis, ib the State of Maryland. As a majority .of tbe States - werS represented at this conference,"the Commission ers, did not deem it expedient lo go into tbe business for which they bad assembled, but after a full interchange of sentiments and deliberate consideration of what would be S . they issued an able and elaborate ad resto the States there represented, which address was ' .tir!?8m,i,l1l ? KeTei of .the other States, and to the United States in Congress assembled. From this address it appears that four.of tbe 8tates had authorized their Commissioners "to meet sueh Commissioners as wereor might be appointed by the other States in tbe Union, to take into consideration the trade and commerce . ' Doited States, to consider how far an uniform ays. tem-in their eommereial intereourteand regulations might be necessary to their common interest and permanent bar- 1 . many," and. that the State of New Jersey had onlorged the - P w of her Cdmmissionera by adding . to -' commercial regnlaUons,"aud other importarj matteri that might be Beeessafy to ibe oommon interest and permanent harmnnv cHhe Several Btates V The address further expresses th Pinion of tbe Commissioners " that the idea of extending tbe powers M their deputies to other objects than those of commerce, which had been aaapted by the State of New jersey, was an improvement on tbe original plan desert-" j ln.corPrated to tbatof a future CutventioV ' "f-.Jf8 T recommending "the appointment.of Com- Sl?.?fal.-meet ,l fo'laelpbia, on the second Monday atXtoaW;.to ae'i"ch further provisions as ttfiSSXSSW fender.th.'Constitntion .
