From the Paper:
"The creation of New York State's first constitution in 1777 is steeped in a rich and intricate history, sharing the historical stage with United States Constitution, which was undergoing is own genesis. While the United States Constitution reflected the sentiments of the national population, the New York Constitution helped to cement the ideals of a people that were distinct from the larger order. Indeed, New Yorkers were a different breed, which was evident from the inception of statehood as many personalities came forth."
