This book outlines the difficulties the founders of the American nation faced and how they united a group of divided states crippled by postwar debt into one strong, stable nation. A cause-and-effect-chart illustrates the problems with the Articles of Confederation and the effects it had on the states, a chart outlines the arguments discussed at the Constitutional Convention, and a Venn diagram shows the state, national, and shared powers in the new system of government.
