The Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787

The narrative captures the critical debates that shaped the Constitution of the United States, as documented by James Madison, the "Father of the Constitution." It includes his detailed notes on the contentious discussions and compromises that defined American democracy. The work is structured into three parts: the historical context leading to the convention, a daily account of the debates, and the full text of the Constitution along with its ratification documents and the Bill of Rights. A preface by historian Robert Alley enhances its significance for scholars and history enthusiasts alike.
