Editing Constitution of Vermont (section)

=== 1793 ===

The 1793 Constitution was adopted two years after Vermont's [[admission to the Union]] and continues in effect, with various later amendments, to this day. It eliminated all mention of grievances against [[King George III]] and against the State of [[New York (state)|New York]]. In 1790, New York's legislature finally renounced its claims that Vermont was a part of New York, the cessation of those claims being effective if and when Congress decided to admit Vermont to the Union.
