Ratification: The Struggle For Massachusetts
As the epochal struggle for Massachusetts began, it was clear that the majority of the people of the state opposed the Constitution. Furthermore, in contrast to Pennsylvania where the Federalists had the important advantage of recently acquired control of the state government, the story in Massachusetts was almost the reverse. For in 1787, in reaction to the harsh measures taken to suppress Shays’ Rebellion, the people had swept the ultra-conservative Governor James Bowdoin out of office and reelected the highly popular John Hancock. Hancock, a dedicated opportunist who might be described as slightly left of center, certainly gave no comfort to the Federalist cause. It was clear that the Federalists would need every item in their large bag of tricks to win, if indeed they could possibly do so.

âThe American people may oppose the nationâs present course, but by themselves the people cannot change it. They may oppose the taxes and the bureaucrats, but these are merely consequences, which cannot be significantly cut back so long as their source is untouched. The people may curse âbig governmentâ in general â but to no avail if the pressure groups among them, following the logic of a mixed economy, continue to be fruitful and to multiply. The people may âswing to the right,â but it is futile, if the leaders of the right are swinging to their own⦠brand of statism. The country may throw the rascals out, but it means nothing if the next administration is made of neo-rascals from the other partyâ¦â
