Book Description
Excerpt from The Framing of the Constitution of the United States Nor is this intended to be a complete history. It is a brief presentation of the author's personal interpretation of what took place in the federal convention. It is merely a sketch in outline, the details of which each student must fill out according to his own needs. This book is founded upon the work the author has already referred to as edited by himself, The Records of the Federal Convention (new Haven, Yale University Press, 1911. 3 In the writing of it scarcely anything else has been used. The Records are so arranged as to render most of the citations easily found, and accordingly, with few exceptions, all footnote references have been omitted.

Excerpt from The Framing of the Federal Constitution Benjamin Franklin summed up his feelings toward the work of the convention with his famous anecdote on the rising sun carved on the back of the president's chair. As James Madison recorded the story, Franklin observed to a few members near him, that painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art a rising sun from a setting sun. 1 have often and often in the course of the session, and the vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as to its issue looked at that behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting: But now at length 1 have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Constitution of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2: Its History, Application and Construction The Constitution of the United States is one of the great written instruments of the world. Its adoption marked the most advanced progress along the line of representative government which had occurred in history, and its influence has surpassed that of any similar document. Concerning the formation of the Constitution there was long a prevalent misconception. It was not wholly an orig inal creation of those who framed-it. The Colonial State papers, 'the Resolves of Congress, the Articles of Confedera tion and the State Constitutions contained many excellent provisions which were inserted in the greater instrument, while precedents for other provisions were found in the British Constitution. In the manner of arrangement I have followed the divi sion of the Constitution into articles, sections and clauses instead of considering similar provisions together. No attempt has been made to discuss collateral issues, or to criticise the Constitution because it contains too much or too little. Although new problems relating to constitu tional government are demanding consideration, I feel that one may be excused from discussing them in a work which treats of the Constitution as it is.
