- The article discusses a draft of the U.S. Articles of Confederation written by Kingston, New Hampshire physician and Continental Congress member Josiah Bartlett that would have prohibited the secession of U.S. states from the American Union. It examines the views of Pennsylvania lawyer and politician John Dickinson and South Carolina politician Edward Rutledge. Other topics explored include Barlett's nationalism and his proposal that courts be established to solve border disputes between U.S. states.
