Synopsis:
The American Constitution was hammered out in debates by the founding fathers at the 1787 Philadelphia Convention. This book contains James Madison's notes on the debates which provide a first-hand view of the drafting of the nation's fundamental charter. An introduction by Winton U. Solberg places the origins of the Constitution in the broader historical perspective of the development of political theory and constitutional practice in Western civilization. The book also links the formation of the Constitution, biographical sketches of each participant in the Philadelphia Convention, and population figures on which representation was to be based.
Synopsis: Reprint of the Bobbs-Merrill edition, published as The Federal convention and the formation of the Union of the American States, in 1958, with only typographical and bibliographical changes and an update to the list of amendments to the Constitution. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
