The Journal of the Debates in the Convention which Framed the Constitution of the United States, May-September 1787. Volume 1

Description

Step inside the chamber where America was born. The Journal of the Debates in the Convention which Framed the Constitution of the United States (May-September 1787) provides an unparalleled transcript of the Constitutional Convention — the foundational moment of American governance. Rather than reading about the Constitution, you will read the actual arguments, the fierce debates, and the compromises that forged the nation's governing document. This volume documents the extended deliberations of May through September 1787, capturing the voices of Madison, Washington, Hamilton, Madison, and Madison's contemporaries as they wrestled with the structure of government, the representation of states, and the fundamental rights of citizens. For students of law, history, and political theory, this is the definitive primary source. The EPUB format makes the dense text accessible on any device, allowing you to study the original debates in the comfort of your own library.
