Maine Maryland New York Delaware massachussets vermont Georgia north & South Carolina Connecticut Pennsylvania New Jersey New Hampshire.... I thinx... oh hang on what about Virginia & west Virginia ? but then what would a Limey know about it ! The 13 Colonies who formed the United States of America by ratifying the Constitution in 1787-1788 were Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. They are listed in order of ratification of the Constitution. At the time, Maine was a part of Massachusetts, it wasn't split off until 1820. West Virginia was a part of Virginia until the War Between the States, when it split off and stayed loyal to the Union after Virginia left in 1863. Vermont was the first state to join after the Revolution, the '14th state', in 1791.
Although not settled until 1733, nearly a century after Massachusetts was established, Georgia was the largest of the original thirteen colonies, with a land area of 59,425 square miles. The thirteen colonies, or order of size are: # Georgia..........................59,425 square miles # New York.......................54,556 # North Carolina................53,819 # Pennsylvania..................46,055 # Massachusetts................46,000* (until 1820, when most of the land became Maine) # Virginia...........................42,774 # South Carolina................32,020 # Maryland.........................12,407 # New Hampshire.................9,350* (today Massachusetts would be 9th, with a land area of 10,555 sq. mi.) # New Jersey........................8,721 # Connecticut.......................5,543 # Delaware...........................2,489 # Rhode Island......................1,545
The Names of the Original Thirteen Colonies if they were put into order would be,: Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New Jersey, South Carolina and Georgia. Jon McMullen FireFighter
Elbridge Gerry very much liked the Virginia Plan(being from Massachusetts)but, at the same time very much disagreed. He thought that every state should have equal power because that is only fair. So instead Elbridge Gerry favored the rational idea of the Connecticut Compromise (Bicameral). This compromise was that we would have a senate and a house and each state would get the same amount of people at the senate and based on population would be the result of people in the house. This led to other things like the 3/5th's Compromise.I hope this helped!
1) To best answer your question of the first five American Colonies we first would have to take into account the First five British Colonies, not settlements. They are: Virginia (1607) Massachusetts (1620) New Hampshire (1623) New Jersey (1623) New York (1624) 3) 4
No. Putting multiple factors into play, that honor would go to New York, Virginia or, possibly, Massachusetts.
To secure the ratification of the Constitution by Massachusetts and Virginia, Federalists promised to support the addition of a Bill of Rights. This assurance alleviated concerns about individual liberties and government overreach. Both states ultimately ratified the Constitution with the understanding that these amendments would be prioritized in the new government. This compromise was crucial in gaining the necessary support for the Constitution's adoption.
Generally, the laws of the state where the property is located apply. If a person who lives in New York dies intestate owning real property in Massachusetts then Massachusetts laws of intestacy would govern the distribution of the property.

Maine, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas (The Carolinas were considered to be one state, however, they would later be separated.)
I would say it was Pennsylvania., Maryland and Virginia.
Virginia favored other large states like itself with high population. The overall agenda for debate was based on the idea of population based representation.
probably because he was from Massachusetts and he believed in equal representation.
it demonstrated that Massachusetts courts would not support slavery.
