Here is the fascinating record of the hot, sultry summer months of debate and decision when ideas clashed and tempers flared. Here is the country as it was then, described by contemporaries. Above all, here are the delegates to the Convention, their names reading like a roster for a Fourth of July oration. In all, fifty-five men attended; and in spite of the heat, in spite of clashing interests - the big states against the little, the slave states against the anti-slave states - in tension and anxiety that mounted week after week, they wrote out a working plan of government and put their signatures to it..
