Ep. 001 United States Constitutional Convention 1787
This episode explores the U.S. Constitution's creation beyond textbook summaries, drawing from James Madison’s journal and letters from other delegates. The discussion highlights early debates, including whether to amend the Articles of Confederation or start fresh, and contentious issues like representation, balancing public opinion, and long-term governance.
Key moments include Franklin’s analogy about compromise and Hamilton’s warning against a weak government. Major debates are examined, from presidential powers and the three-fifths compromise to the role of lifetime judicial appointments. The Bill of Rights and the Constitution’s checks and balances underscore its enduring legacy.
Human stories, such as George Washington’s stern reminder on document care, bring history to life. The Constitution is presented as a living document that continues to shape democracy, requiring ongoing debate, adaptation, and engagement from all citizens. Living document? Democracy?
