, II, 131.
CHAPTER IV.
RISE OF THE TOWNSHIP IN THE WESTERN STATES.^ I. _EvOLUTION OF THE TOWNSHIP-COUNTY SySTEM.
(^a). — The Fundamental Ordinances of 1785 and 1787.
It is customary to describe the remarkable system of local government prevailing in the Western States as the " compro- mise plan. " The name is not entirely inapposite, if two im- portant historic facts are kept in mind. First the "compro- mise " — that is to say, the co-operation of town and county in the work of local administra...tion — was really begun in the colonies long before the Revolution. Secondly, that compro- mise consisted essentially in restoring the primitive local con- stitution. For ages before and for ages after the Norman Conquest the work of local government was shared not only by the county and township but by the hundred as well ; and tlie meeting of the supervisors to form the county board — the characteristic feature of the highest type of western organiza- tion — is but a revival of ancient representation through the reeve and four from each tunscipe of the shire.
