Abstract
Engraving of Willie Jones by Max Rosenthal. Image from the North Carolina Museum of History. [3]The Council of Safety was created as an interim government by North Carolina's Fourth Provincial Congress [4], which met at Halifax [5]in April and May 1776. In the absence of a permanent government created by a state constitution-which the congress had, as yet, failed to adopt-the Council of Safety would execute "full power and authority" over the defense, judiciary, and taxation of the province and lay the foundation for the Fifth Provincial Congress, which would be expected to draft a constitution.
