<P> The Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina were adopted on March 1, 1669 by the eight Lords Proprietors of the Province of Carolina, which included most of the land between what is now Virginia and Florida . It replaced the Charter of Carolina and the Concessions and Agreements of the Lords Proprietors of the Province of Carolina (1665). The date March 1, 1669 was the date that proprietors confirmed the Constitutions and sent them to the Colony, but later on two other versions were introduced in 1682 and in 1698 . Moreover, the proprietors suspended the Constitutions in 1690 . Despite the claims of proprietors on the valid version of the Constitution, the colonists officially recognized the July 21, 1669 version, claiming that six proprietors had sealed the Constitutions as "the unalterable form and rule of Government forever" on that date . The earliest draft of this version in manuscript is believed to be the one found at Columbia, South Carolina archives . </P> <P> Some scholars think that the Colonists, settlers and the British Crown kept themselves at a distance to the Constitutions from the beginning . However that is far from the truth: it was a legal document that drew on the King's earlier charter to the colony and reflected crucial legal realities . While the provisions of the Fundamental Constitutions were never fully employed nor ratified, the Constitutions did help to shape power in the Carolinas and especially land distribution . Colonists' main concerns over the document were its exaltation of proprietors as noblemen at the apex of the hierarchically designed society . Second, the Constitutions had rules that were hard to implement by settlers for practical reasons . Thus, the proprietors had to amend the rules five times . They were repealed in part after the revolution against James II--the Glorious Revolution--which also reflected a partial reaction against such principles . However for eight proprietors and the king who were the authors of the "Fundamental Constitutions," it reflected the proper order of governance, or as they wrote, they were creating a government with lords so "that the government of this province may be made most agreeable to the monarchy under which we live and of which this province is a part; and that we may avoid erecting a numerous democracy ." </P> <P> Because the Fundamental Constitutions were drafted during John Locke's service to one of Province of Carolina proprietors, Anthony Ashley Cooper, it is widely alleged that Locke had a major role in the making of the Constitutions . In the view of historian David Armitage and political scientist Vicki Hsueh, the Constitutions were co-authored by Locke and his patron Cooper, known also as 1st Earl of Shaftesbury . However the document was a legal document written for and signed and sealed by the eight Lord proprietors to whom Charles II had granted the colony; Locke was only a paid secretary . He wrote it much as a lawyer writes a will . </P> <P> After Locke's later writings became famous (after the Glorious Revolution of 1689), his role brought attention to the Constitutions, particularly for its value in the context of classical liberalism . Armitage suggests that Constitutions were the first printed work with which Locke's name could be associated, and that it was published before his widely known writings Essay Concerning Human Understanding and the Two Treatises of Government published in 1689 and 1690 . The STC catalog guesses their might be publications of the Fundamental Constitutions that correspond to the existing manuscripts (in 1670 and 1682). However first publication that can be confirmed is 1698, which postdates by almost a decade Locke's better known writings . </P>
