The Journal of the Debates in the Convention V1 is a historical book written by James Madison, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. The book provides a comprehensive account of the debates that took place during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which was held in Philadelphia from May to September of that year. Madison, who was a delegate to the convention, kept a detailed record of the proceedings, and this book is a transcription of his notes. The debates covered a wide range of topics related to the formation of the new government, including the powers of the executive and legislative branches, the structure of the judiciary, and the balance of power between the federal government and the states. The book provides a fascinating insight into the minds of the men who shaped the American political system, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the United States.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
