        In this online article the author is writing about how the orders of the Connecticut General Court became what we call today the blue laws of New Haven.  Although the author Patrick Mahoney is not making an argument but he is explaining how the blue laws were established in the state of CT in the 1600s. This article goes into detail about how Governor Theophilus Eaton based the New Haven Code of Laws on new books of laws in the Mass Colony as well as small book of laws newly come from England. The author as well writes about the revisions made to the New Haven Code of Laws from 1640 to about 1702 and what had happened to the original printed copies. This source will help me explain how the blue laws of New Haven were established and the changes made to the laws over 200 years.

This one article in the journal explains how New Haven politics were created around the ethnic loyalties. New Haven, which was one of the early “melting pots” in the U.S. had to make set laws that were based on the ethnic background of New Haven.  This journal will be very helpful explaining how diversity effected and revised the blue laws of New Haven over time as the County became more ethnically diverse.
