Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Debates: And Other Proceedings of the Convention of Virginia, Convened at Richmond, on Monday the Second Day of June, 1788, for the Purpose of Deliberating on the Constitution Recommended by the Grand Federal Convention; To Which the Federal Constitution Almost immediately after the revolution, the inefficacy of the confederation, and the necessity of a better system of general government for the United States, were universally admitted. This necessity was so strongly felt, that all the states, with the exception of Rhode-Island, deputed to a general convention to be held in Philadelphia, some of their most distinguished statesmen, orators and patriots, in order to provide some remedy for the evil; which could only be effected by amending the old, or devising a new federal constitution. That enlightened assembly deeming the confederation radically defective and unsusceptible of improvement, devised the present constitution of the United States. This was a spectacle, which the political annals of the world had never before displayed. Almost all the governments which had preceded it, had been the offspring of force, or fraud, or ill-digested policy. They had been founded by the despotic power, or the intriguing arts of a few designing men. All the improvements which had been introduced into their fundamental principles, had flowed from the unobserved innovations of time, or sprung from the insurrection impulse of the nation.
