"I loved the use of the journals, letters, and articles authored by the conventioneers. There is not tons of depth, but the book gives the reader a true feel for the issues faced by the leaders of a very young nation. Remarkable what can be accomplished when locked in a room and held to secrecy until there is a workable draft to be presented to the public."
"The author recreates the day-by-by proceedings of the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The fact that consensus was ultimately achieved is truly miraculous in light of the dramatically differing background and opinions of the representatives from the twelve states (Rhode Island not being present). The creation of the constitution itself is probably more miraculous than the preceding victory over the forces of Cornwallis at Yorktown."
"Great review of History class, but on a much more interesting level! Very insightful to read at this time in our history, in light of what is happening in Washington D.C."
