John Bach McMaster, a professor of American history, and Frederick
D. Stone, librarian of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania,
assembled newspaper articles, editorials, and records about the
debates in Pennsylvania's ratifying convention. In addition to
speeches and essays by both supporters and opponents of the
Constitution, non-interpretative editorial comments are also
present to introduce the documents and to place them in the
appropriate historical context. Also included in the volume are
biographical sketches of key figures in Pennsylvania during this
significant period of the American Founding, including Benjamin
Franklin, Gouverneur Morris, Benjamin Rush, and James Wilson.
Pennsylvania was one of the first states to ratify the U.S.
Constitution. Twenty hours after the Continental Congress submitted
the Constitution to the states, the Assembly of Pennsylvania called
a convention to ratify or reject it. The Constitution immediately
became the subject of passionate debate, which continued until
Washington was sworn in, in 1789. "Pennsylvania and the Federal
Constitution" collects the primary documents that formed this
passionate debate.
