Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Jacob Broom, an American politician from Delaware who played significant roles during the American Revolution and the formation of the United States. Born in 1752 to a prominent family, Broom became a surveyor before entering politics as an assistant burgess in Wilmington. He was elected chief burgess four times, and served as a justice of the peace. In 1786, Broom was appointed to a commission that met to discuss uniform commercial regulations among the states, and in 1787, he was elected as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. At the convention, Broom supported the principles of electing the president by electors chosen by the state legislature, and of giving Congress a negative on state laws. After the convention, Broom returned to Delaware and continued his public service, serving in the state legislature and as a United States senator. He died in 1810. In this book, the author explores Broom's life and career, shedding light on his contributions to the founding of the United States and the development of its political system.
