Ratifying the Constitution, Hardback Book

Ratifying the Constitution Hardback

Edited by Michael Allen Gillespie, Michael Lienesch

Hardback

Description

In his foreword to this volume, Forrest McDonald points out that while the drafting of the Constitution has inspired a large body of historical writing, that on the ratification of the instrument, though an event of equal importance and far greater drama, is relatively small.

This volume fills that gap; it is, according to McDonald, the most extensive treatment of the subject yet undertaken.

A diverse group of historians and political theorists examine the interrelationship of the theoretical debate and the political process on a state-by-state basis, unraveling the labyrinthine complexity of ratification.
