A classic in American constitutional history, Max Farrand's famous account of the Federal Convention presents a vivid analysis of the conditions, the convictions, and the men who framed the Constitution of the United States. This basic work clarifies the intentions of the Founding Fathers and sheds light on the many issues of 1787 that are of vital importance today.
In its day, a classic This was, in its day, a classic on the Constitutional Convention, held in 1787. Farrand was, indeed, an expert. He had published a four volume set on key records of the Convention, with the fourth volume representing corrections of his original three volumes. Much has happened since in 1913, so this cannot be regarded as the "last word" in scholarship of the Constitutional Convention. But it is an important point on the historical analysis of the founding document of American government.The work is pretty straightforward in its structure. It begins by laying out the backgr. "A Classic on the Creation of the Constitution. The Benchmark" according to Todd Carlsen. This is arguably the best book on the creation of the United States Constitution. It simply tells the story of the creation of the Constitution, which was a series of compromises, as well as explains, a good deal, the Constitution itself. This is a "must read" book for anyone studying the history of the American Revolution era or anyone studying constitutional law.I also highly recommend Rakove's excellent and concise biography of James Madison, the Father of the Constitution. Search at Amazon.com for "James Madison Rakove.". Bob Marshall said Farrand's history is an easy read.. Farrand is an early "Farrand's history is an easy read." according to Bob Marshall. Farrand is an early 20th century Liberal, which is to say he would not recognize any of those who now claim that label. His writing style is easy. I didn't have to argue my way through his text, unlike other contemporary treatments of that periodI liked The Framing, etc. enough to purchase the much more expensive four volume series of his collection, the Records of the Federal Constitution, of the documents surrounding the formation of the Union.I do quite a bit of research and found Farrand's indexing very helpful in the multi volume series.Delegate Bob MarshallMember, Vi. 0th century Liberal, which is to say he would not recognize any of those who now claim that label.
