Description
Describes the arguments around the American Revolution over the creation of the Articles of Confederation and its replacement, the Constitution.
Description
"This book deals with important issues of constitutionalism in the American Revolution. It ranges from the imperial debate that led to the Declaration of Independence to the revolutionary state constitution making in 1776 and the creation of the Federal Constitution in 1787. It includes a discussion of slavery and constitutionalism, the emergence of the judiciary as one of the major tripartite institutions of government, and the demarcation between public and private that was a consequence of the government"--
First Sentence
In his pamphlet Common Sense, published six months before the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine called for a “CONTINENTAL CONFERENCE,” which, “being impowered by the people,” would have the legal authority to draw up a “CHARTER,” a written document for America “answering to what is called the Magna Charter of England."
