Book Reviews of Birth of the Constitution (Government Books)
Book Review: Outstanding content, yet simple to understand
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a historical account of the US Constitution and picked this up from the library. This book chronoligically follows the events leading up to the writing of the Constitution (from 1776), the Articles of Confederation, the meetings of the Continental Congress, and the months of debate that lead to the creation of one of the greatest documents in the world. All amendments are discussed and summarized (even some that never made it). The major players (Madison, Washington, etc.) are mentioned and the parts they played are described in good detail. I highly recommend this book to all who want to learn a little bit more about the most important time in this nation's history.
