Unruly Americans and the Origins of the Constitution

Woody Holton's "Unruly Americans and the Origins of the Constitution" challenges traditional narratives by highlighting the role of average Americans who influenced the Constitution's development through protests and rebellions. The book argues that the primary goal of the framers was to attract investment by concentrating power away from the states and the people. This eye-opening history reveals how popular unrest helped shape the foundational document of the United States.
