Now in paperback, Lynne Cheney's New York Times" bestselling
illustrated history of how the Constitution came to be.
"I am mortified beyond expression when I view the clouds which have
spread over the brightest morn that ever dawned upon any country."
--George Washington
America had won the Revolution, but our troubles were far from
over. The thirteen states were squabbling, the country could not
pay its bills, and in Massachusetts farmers had taken up arms
against the government. Was our country, which had fought so hard
for its independence, going to survive?
In May 1787 delegates from across the country--including George
Washington, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin--gathered in
Philadelphia and, meeting over the course of a sweltering summer,
created a new framework for governing: the Constitution of the
United States. Their efforts turned a shaky alliance of states into
a nation that would prosper and grow powerful, drawing its strength
for centuries to come from "We the people" and inspiring hope for
freedom around the world.
Now in paperback for the first time, this richly illustrated tale
of a crucial point in our nation's history will enthrall readers
young and old.
