" 'There are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them…' (I accept this Constitution), 'because I expect no better and because I am not sure that it is not the best.' " -Benjamin Franklin, one of the 39 signatories of the Constitution, September, 1787 The Constitution of the United States, signed by the members of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787, replaced the Articles of Confederation on June 21, 1788. One of the most influential works of political philosophy and practicality ever written, it is the oldest national constitution still in use today and continues to inspire freedom-loving peoples around the world. Its three-pronged system of government-balancing power among legislative, judicial, and executive branches was groundbreaking. This handy edition includes the Bill of Rights and the twenty-seven amendments.
Autorenporträt
THE FOUNDING FATHERS-a group of wealthy plantation owners, businessmen, philosophers, and politicians-united the 13 colonies, fought for independence from Great Britain, and wrote a collection of influential governing documents during the late 1800s, which lead and inspire the United States to this day. One hundred and forty-five men signed one or more of these documents, some of whom are well-known, such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin; others less so, such as Roger Sherman of Connecticut, who was the only Founding Father who signed each document.
