The King's Trouble Makers: Edenton's Role in Creating a Nation and State

If you don't know about Edenton, North Carolina, your knowledge of U.S. history is incomplete and your knowledge of North Carolina insufficient. Organized women's political activity in America was born in Edenton. The concept of judicial review-that courts can declare legislative acts unconstitutional-was championed here. Ideas for a national navy and defense were implemented here. Many passages of the N.C. Constitution (1776) and the U.S. Constitution originated here. Leading proponents of the U.S. Constitution (a.k.a. Federalists) lived in this small place, and so did nationally known jurists and politicians.
