Happy Independence Day, Vermont!

Today is the anniversary of Vermont's independence, not only from Great Britain, but also of New York and New Hampshire; which they maintained from 1777 until their ratification of the United States Constitution in 1791.

The constitution they adopted (accessible from the link above) is a very interesting precursor to the Constitution of the United States.

Best wishes, Vermont, not only for a happy celebration; but that the day will come soon when Vermont enjoys liberty in its Second Republic.
