The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787 (Records of the Federal Convention of 1787)

Rating:
Summary: The Real History of Our Constitution
Review: Max Farrand takes the reader day by day through the butcher shop on the second floor of Independence Hall. Hear Alexander Hamilton wax eloquent on the virtues of monarchy! Hear Madison expound on the need for the Congress to have the power to "veto" any state law it considered "unconstitutional"! Hear Geo. Washington describe his main course at Dr. Franklin's table! Hear the great thoughts and ideas of countless men now obscure. You cannot claim to have any library of consequence on American History without these three volumes and the excellent supplement. The real deal.
