The Background of United States Constitution (clip)

The U.S. Constitution, born out of conflict and economic turmoil, was the result of a series of brilliant compromises. With dramatizations and depictions of art from the period, Paul Burnford's "The Background of the United States Constitution" stresses the importance of key compromises and the events behind them. The video also shows why weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation led to the Constitutional Convention and why a Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers were necessary to allow for final ratification of the Constitution. 20 minutes, color and b/w.

Dont forget Corsican Constitution (1755) was the first codified constitutions of an independent republic in the modern age, Pasquale Paoli wrote the Constitution of the first democratic republic long before USA, many philosophers (including JJRousseau) copied out these documents to show them all over the world including the USA where even "the sons of liberty" were inspired by Paoli..US constitution resembles strangely Corsican constitution.
