Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787 by James Madison, a Member Kindle Edition

by Gordon Lloyd (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
James Madison, best known as the father of the Constitution, was also the most thorough and thoughtful scribe of what one person called in 1839 the "political bible" of the American people - the report of the proceedings and discussions at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Through careful research, Professor Gordon Lloyd has recreated an edition of that report that most closely resembles the version Madison intended to leave behind for "all who take an interest in the progress of political science and the course of true liberty." In addition to reaffirming Madison's profound contributions to constitutionalism, Professor Lloyd's edition restores Madison to his rightful place as the most trustworthy chronicler of the Constitutional Convention.

This book should be required reading in ever school in the country. It explains, in detail how the constitution came about and who wrote it, best of all it uses the actual words of one of the Founders of the nation. EXCELLENT

No reading or attempt at interpreting the Constitution can be complete without this. A lot of today's politically motivated speculation about what the Founders thought or envisioned can be clarified here.
