| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Treaty of Paris left the United States independent and at peace, but with an unsettled governmental structure. The Second Continental Congress had drawn up Articles of Confederation in November 15, 1777, to regularize its own status. Congress, meeting in New York, called on each state to send delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787, meeting in Philadelphia. The Convention proposed a federal government -limited in scope but independent of and superior to the states. The book studies the initial attempts like Articles of Confederation to put up a governmental structure in place, and the Constitutional Convention which proposed a federal governing body. It also looks at the resistance offered by anti-federalists and the final ratification of the federal constitution.
