Abstract:

While North Carolina was the tenth state to ratify the United States Constitution, its representatives were the twelfth delegation to arrive in New York, the first national capital. Stewart provides a short biography of North Carolina's first seven congressional members: senators Benjamin Hawkins and Samuel Johnston and representatives John Baptista Ashe, Timothy Bloodworth, John Sevier, John Steele, and Hugh Williamson. As members of the First Congress, these men participated in the passage of the Bill or Rights, the creation of the United States War Department, the United States Treasury, State Department, and Post Office Department.
