CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, THE(I***N=9780812975178) mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

　　In 1787, the American union was in disarray. The incompatible

demands of the separate states threatened its existence; some

states were even in danger of turning into the kind of tyranny they

had so recently deposed.

A truly national government was needed, one that could raise

money, regulate commerce, and defend the states against foreign

threats–without becoming as overbearing as England. So

thirty-six-year-old James Madison believed. That summer, the

Virginian was instrumental in ***anizing the C***titutional

Convention, in which one of the world’s greatest documents would be

debated, created, and signed. Inspired by a sense of history in the

***, he kept the most extensive notes of any attendee.

Now two esteemed scholars have made these minutes accessible to

everyone. Presented with modern punctuation and spelling, judicious

cuts, and helpful notes–plus fascinating background information on

every delegate and an overview of the tumultuous times–here is the

great drama of how the C***titution came to be, from the opening

statements to the final votes.

This Modern Library Paperback Classic also includes an

Introduction and appendices from the authors.
