Very Informative

I had just finished John Fiske's, "The War of Independence" and was left wanting on details after the war leading up to our first president. This book has filled in those blanks. Very informative on the process involved in our Constitution and the events and men involved. Would recommend both books, read in the order I read them, for every student; and for every politician, to remind them of the roots of the Constitution they swear to uphold!

For a book being written so long ago, I found this an excellent read. Very approachable. Helped me really understand what was going on and why the Constitution needed to be written. I would recommend it to anyone who loves history or America.

Constitution

Lacked Bill of Rights. Interesting the ideas presented in the forerunner documents to the Constitution, especially, eventually, the false respect for Native Americans.
