Hall, Mark David, '6 Roger Sherman and the New National Government', Roger Sherman and the Creation of the American Republic (New York , 2012; online edn, Oxford Academic, 24 Jan. 2013), https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199929849.003.0006, accessed 25 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
Sherman was elected to the House of Representatives for the first federal Congress, and in 1791 he was appointed to the U.S. Senate. He made important contributions in debates over representation, executive power, revenue, the assumption of state debt, the proper scope of the national government, and, especially, the Bill of Rights. His views are particularly relevant for helping jurists and scholars properly interpret the First Amendment. The chapter concludes by considering his final days.
