Flash Mob Colonial Style
Back in the day, citizens called these gatherings “convention” or “assemblies.” Today we call it a flash mob.
| The Webster dictionary defines a flash mob as a group of people summoned (as by e-mail or text message) to a designated location at a specified time to perform an indicated action before dispersing. The colonial delegates also received spontaneous invitations to join a group, were assembled quickly (relatively speaking for the 18th century) in a specific location and at a specified time, and to perform a specific purpose. Back in the day, citizens called these gatherings “convention” or “assemblies.” Today we call it a flash mob. It was this practice of self-governance, conventions of delegations were called to establish rules among themselves and to resolve intra-state matters. A flash mob of sorts! Don’t be too surprised, sometime in the very near future, a really big flash mob assembles at a designated location for the specific purpose of invoking Article V of the U.S. Constitution.
