CONSTITUTION: ROAD TO A MORE PERFECT UNION

In this issue, we delve into the nitty gritty of how the Constitution came to be. First, we describe the problems that the young United States was facing under the Articles of Confederation. Then, we explore how many different men from many different backgrounds somehow came together and hammered out this concise, sometimes vague and yet durable model for government. And then there's the suspenseful ratification process, when the fate of the country hung in the balance. We also raise the question for our readers: Is the Constitution near perfect or is there room for improvement? You'll be fascinated by the detailed look at how our Constitution, despite the odds, not only was written, but also became a model for democratic governments. It's all in the December 2007 issue.
