[Ads-l] Antedating of "Senator" (U.S., France, Italy) (CORRECTION)

[Shapiro, Fred]

Correction of my previous citation, which should have been dated 1787, not 1789.


Senator (OED, 1.f., 1788)

1787 Alexander Hamilton _Draft of a Constitution_ 17 Sept. (Founders Online)  The Legislature shall provide for the future elections of Senators.

Fred Shapiro
