The Debate on the C***titution Part 1(I***N=9780940450424) mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

In this Library of America volume (and its companion) is

captured, on a scale unmatched by any previous collection, the

extraordinary energy and eloquence of our first national political

campaign. Assembled here in chronological order are hundreds of

newspaper articles, pamphlets, speeches, and private letters

written or delivered in the aftermath of the C***titutional

Convention. Along with familiar figures like Franklin, Madison,

Patrick Henry, Jefferson, and Washington, scores of less famous

citizens are represented, all speaking clearly and passionately

about government. The most famous writings of the ratification

struggle - the Federalist essays of Hamilton and Madison - are

placed in their original context, alongside the arguments of able

antagonists, such as "Brutus" and the "Federal Farmer." Part One

includes press polemics and private commentaries from September1787

to January 1788. That autumn, powerful arguments were made against

the new charter by Virginian Ge***e Mason and the

still-unidentified "Federal Farmer," while in New York newspapers,

the Federalist essays initiated a brilliant defense. Dozens of

speeches from the state ratifying conventi*** show how the "draft

of a plan, nothing but a dead letter," in Madison's words, had

"life and validity...breathed into it by the voice of the people."

Included are the conventi*** in Pennsylvania, where James Wilson

confronted the democratic skepticism of those representing the

western frontier, and in Massachusetts, where John Hancock and

Samuel Adams f***ed a crucial compromise that saved the country

from years of political convulsion. Informative notes, biographical

profiles of all writers, speakers, and recipients, and a detailed

chronology of relevant events from 1774 to 1804 provide fascinating

background. A general index allows readers to follow specific

topics, and an appendix includes the Declaration of Independence,

the Articles of Confederation, and the C***titution (with all

amendments).
