RESOLVE FOR DISTRICTING THE COMMONWEALTH, FOR THE PURPOSE OF CHOOSING FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES...JUNE 30, 1792. [bound with:] RESOLVE FOR DISTRICTING THE COMMONWEALTH FOR THE PURPOSE OF CHOOSING ... A rare pair of handbills. The NUC and OCLC together locate only five copies of the two resolutions bound together with continuous pagination, as here. The document deals with the knotty question of creating districts for representatives from Massachusetts to the federal government, and with the method of choosing electors for President and Vice President of the United States. In the next few years Elbridge Gerry would give birth to the phrase "Gerrymandering," with his odd Massachusetts districts (wily politicians and sophisticated computer programs have refined this devious art).
