Question

Why do you think the pewterers believed that the new Constitution would promote Americans’ freedom and prosperity, as stated in the inscription?

Answer 1

The Pewterers felt that the Constitution would be able to allow them to practice their arts freely, without interference from the government. This would allow themselves, and by extension, the country to prosper. The pewter that they used in their inscriptions was of the highest quality, and they felt the same way about the new Constitution.
