Author: Lynne Cheney
Now in paperback, Lynne Cheney's New York Times bestselling illustrated history of how the Constitution came to be.
George Washington America had won the Revolution, but our troubles were far from over. The thirteen states were squabbling, the country could not pay its bills, and in Massachusetts farmers had taken up arms against the government. Was our country, which had fought so hard for its independence, going to survive?
In May 1787 delegates from across the country: George Washington, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin, gathered in Philadelphia and, meeting over the course of a sweltering summer, created a new framework for governing: the Constitution of the United States. Their efforts turned a shaky alliance of states into a nation that would prosper and grow powerful, drawing in many people from many other nations.
