Description
With his simulated day-by-day reportage, prize-winning journalist-historian Jeffrey St. John makes you an eyewitness to the 1787-1788 political battle to ratify the U.S. Constitution. And what a battle it was! Listeners will discover how the Federalists sought to stampede the states into early ratification with violence and rigged elections, how close some Anti-Federalists came to opposing the new Constitution with armed force, and how the Bill of Rights was born as the price Federalists had to pay to save the new Constitution from certain defeat. Described here is Massachusetts Governor John Hancockās secret deal to deliver his state in return for support of his candidacy for the presidency.
