Overview

A new volume in the venerable constitutional history series The third in a planned six-volume series examining the intense debate over the drafting and ratification of the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, No. 3 is the latest work in the landmark Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution series. The Bill of Rights series represents a profoundly important documentary record of the effort to protect human rights during the Revolutionary War Era. The volumes include state bills of rights and excerpts from state constitutions that protected rights, actions taken under the Articles of Confederation to protect rights, and the debate over rights in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, among a wealth of other documentation. The series will greatly aid those interested in learning how Americans of the Founding generation established a strong federal system of government while at the same time safeguarding the rights of the people. Begun in 1976, The Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution series is a reference collection that aims to preserve the state-by-state debates about the ratification of the United States Constitution.
