1st Edition 1st Printing Witnesses at the Creation : Hamilton, Madison

Description: Stated first edition with a full number line. The American Constitution has endured longer than any other written constitution of the modern age. The safeguard of our liberties, it established a government of laws, not people. This popular work of history focuses on the creation and ratification of our constitution, examining how The Federalist, the series of newspaper letters by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison became the greatest classic of political science ever written, and how their reasoned defense helped sway public opinion in favor of adapting the law of the land. Richard B. Morris, (1904-89) was Gouverneur Morris Professor of History at Columbia University & past president of the American Historical Association. He wrote more than 40 books spanning legal, labor, diplomatic, political & social history, including The Peacemakers: The Great Powers & American Independence, The Forging of the Union 1781-89, Witnesses at the Creation, Government & Labor in Early America & Studies in the History of American Law.
