1987 Annual Report <br />Town of Lexington, Massachusetts <br />a ell a <br />104 ML <br />Reproduced on the cover of this year's town report is an early <br />printed draft of the Massachusetts constitution. The state constitu- <br />tion, adopted in 1780, served as a model for the Federal constitution <br />whose 200th anniversary the nation and Lexington are commemorat- <br />ing 1987 to 1988. <br />The marginal notes on this early draft were made by the Reverend <br />Jonas Clarke of Lexington, articulate and ardent political activist, <br />and one of the constitution's architects. Clarke was among those <br />who insisted that our constitution be drafted by a more repre- <br />sentative state convention than by the General Court alone. The <br />draft shown on our cover is from the original in the archives of the <br />Lexington Historical Society. Our thanks to the society and to its <br />Historian and Archivist, S. Lawrence Whipple. <br />of Ma11acbufetts <br />-i VAP IN <br />
