- Each section below, dissect in detail, each of our nation's most important documents -- right from the Beginning
- To know the meaning of the words used, we use a dictionary in publication, available for common use just a few years prior to the writing and or signing of that document, law, etc.
- For the major portions of this section, we use two dictionaries Dictionaries of the English Language by Samuel Johnson. the first is a two-volume set, published in 1756. The second also is a two-volume set, published in 1785.
- Why Samuel Johnson and not Noah Webster? Because Webster's first and second editions respectively were published about 1806 and 1826; some 20 to 50 years after the signing of several of the earliest documents.
- Additionally, The National Achieves digitized these dictionaries and they were the first ones I found that met the prior to dates, published, and common-use criteria.
- Using after-the-fact dictionaries discredits a research -- because definitions change over time.
The documents, from the beginning, include:
- In the beginning.... ooops. Not that beginning.
