Plain, Honest Men(ISBN=9780812976847) 英文原版 txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

　　In May 1787, in an atmosphere of crisis, delegates met in

Philadelphia to design a radically new form of government.

Distinguished historian Richard Beeman captures as never before the

dynamic of the debate and the characters of the men who labored

that historic summer. Virtually all of the issues in dispute—the

extent of presidential power, the nature of federalism, and, most

explosive of all, the role of slavery—have continued to provoke

conflict throughout our nation's history. This unprecedented book

takes readers behind the scenes to show how the world's most

enduring constitution was forged through conflict, compromise, and

fragile consensus. As Gouverneur Morris, delegate of Pennsylvania,

noted: "While some have boasted it as a work from Heaven, others

have given it a less righteous origin. I have many reasons to

believe that it is the work of plain, honest men."
