Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex origins of the United States Constitution by recounting the frustrating and protracted efforts to unite the colonies during the American Revolution. The author argues that the Constitution was not the result of a sudden movement for independence but rather the culmination of a long process of political and economic upheaval. The book traces the evolution of the colonies from their initial dependence on Great Britain through their gradual assertion of autonomy. It examines the debates over representation, taxation, and the powers of the central government that ultimately led to the creation of a new nation. By setting the writing of the Constitution against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in American history, the author demonstrates how the document was shaped by the fears, hopes, and ambitions of its creators.
