The Constitutional Convention (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781538266373)

Far from the well-ordered, solemn conference some might think of, the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was filled with disagreements, debates, and near-disasters. Yet, the framers of the Constitution pushed on to save the new nation from falling apart. The result was the remarkable document the United States government still uses as its foundation. Readers of this accessible book, perfect for struggling readers, will learn the story of the convention, who showed up, who didn't, and the final fight for ratification. Historical images shed light on the time period. Fact boxes add further interesting details about this important event.
