Plain, Honest Men: The Making of the American ConstitutionIn 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

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."

Perfect Fit the First Time
Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy Blue
This is a really, nice, comfy quarter zip that I wore with just a basic white T-shirt. It was a night out with my significant other and she even complimented how classy it looked. The fit is true to size. I would definitely recommend this product and feel that it is worth the price. It is not only comfortable, it can be worn different ways should you decide to wear a dress shirt underneath. I wear a size 2x and have a size 52 chest. It was not tight and it was not baggy. This definitely felt like a quality product.
