The debates over and ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1787-1788 have been described as "the first great stroke of popular democracy in America and perhaps its most successful and momentous as well."
This week on dialogue host John Milewski is joined by Pauline Maier, to discuss her new book Ratification: The People Debate the Constitution, 1787-1788. Maier draws on new sources to illustrate how the document we revere today as the foundation of our country's laws and the cornerstone of our legal system was not easily ratified but hotly contested in a year long debate which riveted the entire country.
