Monongalia County Court Records, Grand Jury Presentment Regarding Virginia and Federal Legislatures, 1816

.01 Linear Feet 1 leaf (1 folder)

A presentment by the Grand Jurors of Monongalia County explaining their disapproval of recent acts by the United States Congress and the General Assembly of Virginia. (In legal terms, a "presentment" is the notice taken or statement made by a grand jury of an offense from their own knowledge without a bill of indictment laid before them.) The Jurors' complaint against the United States Congress regards a bill raising salaries for congressmen. Regarding the General Assembly of Virginia, the Jurors complain of general overreach by the legislature and assumption of powers belonging to the judicial branch. In addition, they note "the inquality of representation in the state legislature" which disadvantages the "Northern and Western sections of the state". In addition to the original document from the Monongalia County Court records, there is also a partial transcription of the document, including the names of its signers.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
