Description
The Constitution: A Story of How It Was Written The United States Constitution is an easy-to-take-for-granted blueprint for its government. But in 1787, fifty-five men from the original thirteen states spent months arguing over what would become a four-page document. This book tells their story, including the key players who fought tirelessly to make it happen. Behind the scenes of this hotly debated issue were significant disagreements between Northern and Southern States, as well as big and small states. The Constitution's authors had to navigate these challenges to create a framework for the country's future. The result was a document that has shaped America ever since its signing on September 17, 1787.
