to add to my first posting:

After having used the three links to check out the reliability of my two resources, I have found that they are both reliable. The first one, http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h448.html is still a reliable source. I found that several people link into this website and that it has not changed that much over the years and that the historical facts are still accurate. The second source, http://www.mises.org/fullstory.aspx?control=582, is also still reliable because several other websites that have to do with the Constitution link into it. Even though it has changed a lot over the years, it is still an educatinal institute's website. The man who maintains it is a historian at that institute.
