A brilliant solution : inventing the American Constitution

Print version:

Our present federal government is a name, a shadow : the call for a convention

Making Mr. Madison wait

A gathering of demi-gods

How far do you intend to go? : the perils of power

I do not trust you, gentlemen : schisms, threats, and compromises

Like "a trial of colours to a blind man" : debating the presidency once again

I consent, sir, to this constitution because I expect no better : the convention ends

The constitution is now before the judgment seat : the battle for ratification

This great and good man : the inauguration of President George Washington
