Heritage Commission Book of the Week – Democracy in Delaware: The Story of the First State’s General Assembly

The foundation of Delaware’s democracy is its General Assembly. A body that has governed both the colony and state of
Delaware for over three hundred years, it has been the voice of the people in our government and has affected almost
every aspect of our lives. Dr. Carol Hoffecker’s “Democracy in Delaware” discusses the role the General Assembly has
played in our long history and how Delaware’s government has grown and changed over time.
