Requests:  0 Summary:  "The prizewinning author of Founding Brothers and American Sphinx now gives us the unexpected story--brilliantly told--of why the thirteen colonies, having just fought off the imposition of a distant centralized governing power, would decide to subordinate themselves anew. The triumph of the American Revolution was neither an ideological nor political guarantee that the colonies would relinquish their independence and accept the creation of a federal government with power over their individual autonomy. The Quartet is the story of this second American founding and of the men responsible--some familiar, such as George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, and some less so, such as Robert Morris and Gouverneur Morris. It was these men who shaped the contours of American history by diagnosing the systemic dysfunctions created by the Articles of Confederation, manipulating the political process to force a calling of the Constitutional Convention, conspiring to set the agenda in Philadelphia, orchestrating the debate in the state ratifying conventions, and, finally, drafting the Bill of Rights to assure state compliance with the constitutional settlement"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 342.029 El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 342.029 El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 342.029 El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 342.029 El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 342.029 El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 342.029 El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 342.029 El Checked out 06/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 342.029 El Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
