ARTICLES IN ADDITION TO AND AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, AGREED TO BY THE CONVENTION OF THE SAID STATE.... The people of New Hampshire, having rejected the constitutions of 1781 and 1783, finally hammered out something they could live with in these seventy-two revisions to the 1792 constitution. They were approved by an election in August, and took effect in September of 1792. For some reason this appears in Bristol as well as Evans, but Bristol does not spell out any variant issue. This copy belonged to the town of Sommersworth; the town clerk's manuscript additions on page twenty confirm that fourteen residents voted in favor, and one against, the proposed amendments.
