Work Description
Who were the men who wrote the Constitution of the United States? The Signers of the Constitution tells the story of the legal instrument that established our system of government some two hundred years ago, and of the men who created it. The summer of 1787 comes alive as delegates to the Constitutional Convention hammer out the wording of our nation's highest law. The book examines the need for and significance of the Constitution of the United States and follows the progress of various proposals and debates during the four grueling months that it took to forge an acceptable document. Stories of the individual signers give insight into their backgrounds, motivations, and contributions to the Constitutional Convention and the course of their lives after the Convention. - Back cover.
