Synopsis

This book is a collection of debates from the 1780s that led to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It offers insight into the inner workings of the founding fathers and the political environment of the time. The author has collected a range of voices from all parties and walks of life, from different states and socio-economic backgrounds, to present as wide a field of perspective as possible. This text is significant today not only for its historical value, but its continuing relevance to the current discussion on the separation of powers, the proper role of government, and the guaranteed rights of citizens in a democratic society.
