To H-Law,

We on H-VA-Hist have come across a question that the scholars
on H-Law may
be able to help us with.  I am not sure how to put the question but:
did
property rights, recognition of marriage, inheritance, the whole
range of
private and family law, change in relation to independence, the
Articles
of Confederation, and then the Constitution?  What about relations
between
the states involving these matters, during the fluid period, 1776-
1790?

We appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Harold S. Forsythe
