Through a collection of documents, speeches, and essays, this anthology brings to life the complex tapestry of ideas and debates that shaped the U.S. Constitution. The selections illuminate the diverse intellectual and political currents of the era, providing readers with a panoramic view of the nation's constitutional birth. Key works offer profound insights into the intricacies of statecraft, the balance of liberties, and the vision for a republic that endures to this day. This anthology assembles contributions from pivotal figures such as James Madison, the U.S. Congress, and the Center for Legislative Archives, with Helen M. Campbell's insightful editorial guidance. These authors and institutions draw upon a rich historical legacy, capturing the fervor of the late 18th century's political thought.
