Summary:
Who wrote the Constitution? We think it was the fifty-five men in Philadelphia in 1787. But much of the Constitution was actually written later, in a series of twenty-seven amendments enacted over the course of two centuries. Kowal and Codrington tell the story of how subsequent generations have reshaped our founding document amid some of the most colorful, contested, and controversial battles in American political life. The result is an elegant, sobering account of the evolution of American democracy. -- adapted from jacket
