NEW HAMPSHIRE – Two manuscript documents, written and signed in a clerical hand, New Hampshire, 23 June 1785.
Six pages total, 342 x 204mm, bifolia, blindstamped "ARCHIVES DE CHASTELLUX" at top left.
New Hampshire bans English shipping from trading in its ports while granting Congress the power to negotiate commercial treaties. Two acts of the New Hampshire general court, both issued the same day, one regulating foreign trade to and from its ports, while the other grants Congress the power to negotiate commercial treaties. The first act provides "for the Regulation of navigation and commerce," which features a strict prohibition against ships "being the property of any of the Subjects of the King of Great-Britain," from exporting any goods from New Hampshire Ports, and establishes a complex regime to enforce the law. A curious and seemingly contradictory pair of acts issued by the State of New Hampshire, passed during the latter years of the Confederation, that highlights the growing problems facing the loose union amid growing calls for a stronger, centralized framework of government that led to the Constitution of 1787. Provenance: François-Jean de Beauvoir, Marquis de Chastellux (1734-1788) – by descent to the consignor.
