Quite an interesting analysis of Madison's Notes on the constitutional convention. Bilder finds that Madison edited the Notes at several points between 1787 and their publication in the 1830s. Fantastic detective work! Highly recommend for anyone interested in the constitution. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"New digital technologies and traditional historical investigation suggest that James Madison did not finish his famous Notes until after the Convention. The Notes are the most important, and most misunderstood, account of the 1787 Constitutional Convention. This biography of the Notes follows Madison as he created and then repeatedly revised a remarkable manuscript of American history. Originally a diary kept in part for the absent Thomas Jefferson, the Notes highlighted his fascination with the political strategy of drafting. But when the Convention began to draft the details of the Constitution, the complicated process led Madison to abandon his Notes. Only after serving in Congress and drafting new constitutional amendments did Madison return to complete them. By the time the Notes were published a half-century later, the layers of revisions made the Notes appear--inaccurately--to be an objective record of the writing of the Constitution"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
