"The Real Father of the Constitution"

David O. Stewart, a Washington, D.C. attorney and author of "The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution," discusses the framers that he believed have been wrongfully ignored by history and explains why. Stewart asserts that he believes Rutledge is rightfully the "Father of the Constitution."

On April 28, 2008, the American Constitution Society and its Washington, D.C. Lawyers Chapter hosted a book signing for, and a discussion of, "The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution." The event included a conversation between the author, Washington, D.C. attorney David O. Stewart, and Paul M. Smith, ACS Board of Directors Chair and partner at Jenner & Block LLP, as well as questions and answers from the audience. Stewart and Smith delved into the fascinating subject of Stewart's new book on the personalities behind the creation of the nation's founding document.
