The Fathers of the Constitution

The Fathers of the Constitution- Chronicle of the Establishment of the Union is a classic American history text by Max Farrand. "The United States of America" It was in the Declaration of Independence that this name was first and formally proclaimed to the world, and to maintain its verity the war of the Revolution was fought. Americans like to think that they were then assuming "among the Powers of the Earth the equal and independent Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them"; and, in view of their subsequent marvelous development, they are inclined to add that it must have been before an expectant world.
