The Constitution of the United States is one of the most important and revered documents in history. Our national memory is largely built around the work of a small group of "Founding Fathers" sequestered in a room in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When they emerged, the document was done, merely awaiting ratification, so we tend to assume. This course will explore the ideas that those men brought to the convention as well as the processes, including ratification, that produced the working document that has become the foundation of our government.
