The Growth of the Constitution in the Federal Convention of 1787 is a historical book written by William Montgomery Meigs and first published in 1899. The book provides a detailed account of the Federal Convention of 1787, which was held in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation and create a new constitution for the United States.Meigs examines the debates and discussions that took place during the convention, focusing on the key issues and compromises that shaped the final version of the Constitution. He explores the roles played by the delegates, including James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Benjamin Franklin, and their differing views on issues such as representation, slavery, and the powers of the federal government.The book also delves into the historical context surrounding the convention, including the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, the economic and political challenges facing the new nation, and the influence of Enlightenment ideas on the delegates' thinking.Overall, The Growth of the Constitution in the Federal Convention of 1787 provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of one of the most important events in American history, shedding light on the complex process of creating a foundational document that has endured for over two centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
