Summary:

The rabbi who printed this 1820 constitution believed that it was "the oldest printed Constitution in America with the exception of one of the Congregation Shearith Israel of New York, which is dated 1805. It is reprinted from what is, as far as I have been able to ascertain, a unique copy."--Barnett A. Elzas, Preface, p. [2]
