SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED Defying the Crown in Early Cambridge: The 1664 Petition Campaign and Grassroots Constitutionalism
DESCRIPTION:This event was rescheduled from May 22 and will now take place 
 on May 28.\n\nThe new king Charles II sent royal commissioners to New 
 England in 1664 in order to pressure colonists into compliance with his 
 metropolitan agenda. When these royal commissioners tried to claim full 
 authority over local courts and militias\, Cambridge inhabitants were among 
 the first to act in defiance. Their grassroots petition campaign drew on 
 the experience of the English civil wars and pointed the way forward to the 
 American Revolution. \n\n\n\nAdrian Chastain Weimer is a Professor of 
 History at Providence College and is currently a Long-term Fellow at the 
 John Carter Brown Library. She is the author of A Constitutional Culture: 
 New England and the Struggle against Arbitrary Rule in the Restoration 
 Empire (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2023) and Martyrs' Mirror: 
 Persecution and Holiness in Early New England (Oxford University Press\, 
 2011).
