The Writing and Ratification of the U.S. Constitution: Practical
Virtue in Action examines the events surrounding the development of
the U.S. Constitution. Setting these events within the context of
the colonial conflict with Britain and the experience with state
constitutions under the Articles of Confederation, John R. Vile
discusses the delegates who attended the Constitutional Convention
of 1787, the major plans and proposals that delegates offered, and
the arguments that delegates made both in the Convention and in
subsequent state ratifying debates that ultimately led to the
adoption of the U.S. Bill of Rights. Vile contends that the
Convention and subsequent ratifying conventions were not mere
exercises in political theory but practical attempts to formulate a
workable government that all the states would ratify. Focusing
chiefly on records of debates at the Convention, the book is a
legal brief, identifying key facts, issues, arguments, and
compromises, and providing a unique window into the contestation
surrounding this keystone American political moment. This book is
perfect for scholars and students in the field of American
political history and development.
