A More Perfect Union: The Birth of the Constitution

Declaring independence was just the first step towards forming the United States. Seeking to replace the weak Articles of Confederation with a stronger central government, a 1787 convention produced a constitution that provoked sharp debate over its ratification by the states. This exhibition features one of the early printings through which the text of the Constitution was presented to the public, as well as the most influential work of the ratification debate, "The Federalist."
