The American experience included a long period of British colonial domination and a Revolutionary War. It had taken some time for the Continental Congress to propose and implement the Articles of Confederation (1781). John Jay, Henry Know and Rufus King provided ideas about a new form of government. Congress adopted a resolution that endorsed a convention \"\"for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation.\"\" What these pages contain are the \"\"unplugged\"\" goings-on recorded by James Madison, a key participant in the convention, that took place May-September 1787. At last, a simple, handy guide to the making of the American Constitution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46456042422423,"sku":"9781678102746","price":1866.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781678102746.webp?v=1769177259","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-pragmatic-constitution-the-making-of-the-american-government-9781678102746","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
