This book presents an original historical-legal analysis of the adoption of the Constitution and its sequel, the Bill of Rights, in place of America’s first constitution, the discredited Articles of Confederation. Rather than relying on the Federalist Papers, a secondary source, this study draws its analysis from Madison’s own minutes of the 1787 Convention. This work offers an indispensable aid in understanding the sources of the federal system of government and its impact on later developments in the United States.
