Guide Review
"Are We to Be a Nation? The Making of the Constitution"
Praised for its political, social, and intellectual background and extensive illustrative material, this book traces the Constitution from before the Constitutional Convention through ratification by the states. Few books on the Constitution do such a good job of highlighting the ratification debate. While the book is most often found in college and larger public libraries, it is an excellent addition to anyone's reference desk.
