Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heated debates surrounding the adoption of the United States Constitution in North Carolina, one of the last states to ratify the document. Through detailed transcripts of the North Carolina Convention of 1788, the author meticulously reconstructs the arguments and concerns voiced by key figures, providing an intimate glimpse into the political and social anxieties of the time. The book explores the central question of state sovereignty versus federal power, dissecting the anxieties of some North Carolinians who feared the potential for a strong federal government to undermine state autonomy. The author brings to life the clashing perspectives of those who advocated for ratification, believing a strong national government was essential for stability and economic prosperity, and those who opposed it, fearing the loss of local control and the potential for tyranny. The reader witnesses firsthand the passionate arguments over issues such as slavery, taxation, the power of the presidency, and the role of a bill of rights, providing a valuable historical record of the debates that shaped the very foundation of the American republic. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the early American republic and the birth of a new nation.
