| Noah Webster | [Noun] An assembly of the people, or of bishops, thanes, aldermen and freemen, to consult respecting public affairs; an annual convention of the people, answering in some measure, to a modern parliament; a word used in England before the Norman conquest, after which, the national Council was called a parliament. But some authors allege that the folkmote was an inferior meeting or court. Source: Webster's 1828 American Dictionary. | ||
