The Town Meeting was a unique form of local participation in government that became popular in New England. This video goes into detail as to how this phenomenon developed, its limitations, and why New England and not other colonial regions. Overall I want this to be a background video for when I start talking about Shays' Rebellion and the Constitutional Debates later on.
