What Is the Constitution? (What Was?)
ISBN-13: 9781524786090
We the people at Who HQ bring readers the full story -- arguments and all -- of how the US Constitution came into being.
Signed on September 17, 1787 -- four years after the American War for Independence -- the Constitution laid out the supreme law of the United States of America. Today it's easy for us to take this blueprint of our government for granted, but the Framers--fifty-five men from almost all of the original 13 states -- argued fiercely for many months over what ended up being only a four-page document.
Here is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the hotly fought issues -- those between Northern and Southern States; big states and little ones -- and the key players such as James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and George Washington who suffered through countless revisions to make the Constitution happen.
Target age group 8-12
