Title A name given to the resource Mason’s Objections to the Constitution of Government formed by the Convention Subject The topic of the resource Objections Description An account of the resource This is a third-person document that protests the policies that the Constitution put forward in the eyes of George Mason. According to Mason, he refused to sign or went against the Constitution because he believed that the document gave too much power to a central government and it lacked a Bill of Rights, which guaranteed individual liberty, as he believes that the laws of the government are important to the Constitutions of several states. In addition, Mason believes that the people aren't secured in the enjoyment of beliefs in common law. In the end, Mason states that he sees the Government will look like an aristocracy, as he thinks that the federalized government would imminently be produced as a monarchy.

Title A name given to the resource Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac: Petition Subject The topic of the resource Railroads/petitons Description An account of the resource For my research project on the Potomac railroad during and around the civil war (focusing on governmental proceedings), I will use a document called the Richmond, Fredericksburg, & Potomac Railroad: Petition. This petition will make my project relative to the location in which I live in as it talks about the potential of extending the railroad from Fredericksburg to Aquia Creek, near Stafford. A major part of the railroad has already been built and is operational between the Roanoke River and the railroad in general not necessarily operated by RFP starts in Wilmington, NC. This was part of a series of petitions to the General Assembly that were the primary catalyst for legislation in the Commonwealth from 1776 until 1865. Public improvements, military claims, divorce, manumission of slaves, division of counties, incorporation of towns, religious freedom, and taxation were just some of the concerns expressed in the petition. The reader of my Omeka exhibit will understand in context that the state of Virginia had interest in controlling some stocks of the improvement projects, which will help the state [government] make more money. Even though at that time, the cost of extending the railroad to Aquia was very high (around $247,000), the bigger challenge was, for instance, safely transporting goods and mail (and as time progressed, troops for the civil war as the extended railroad matured), the petition called for the potential of a further extension from Aquia to Washington DC, but because of the iciness of the river during the several weeks of winter, it has been proposed that they build the railroad around Warrenton and into Washington from the west (where the Potomac River is significantly smaller).

Title A name given to the resource Richmond Inquirer July 02, 1861 Description An account of the resource This clipping of the article discusses the initial problems the RFP (Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac) Railway Company had in terms of the transport of goods and troops to any of the key battle areas north of Richmond. That railroad company and ones based entirely in Richmond had initial disputes over maintenance of respective facilities and led to delays in critical supply for the confederacy’s attempt to fight the union in the civil war. A major component of these disputes is the economic challenge of maintaining the operations of 2 railroad companies in which their managers decided to use the same railway lines instead of having dedicated lines, thus losing convenience and timeliness.
