In Heideking's view, the construction of a new political process was an unintended but key result of ratification debates over the federal Constitution. Heideking's work anticipated diverse strands of subsequent scholarship; this translation can claim to provide not only an invaluable account of the ratification debates but also a master narrative for integrating future studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Virginia Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47780766711959,"sku":"9780813931746","price":7211.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780813931746.webp?v=1778048076","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-constitution-before-the-judgment-seat-the-prehistory-and-ratification-of-the-american-constitution-1787-1791-9780813931746","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
