The rise of the righteous anger -- Madison's vision : requisitions and rights -- The superiority of the extended republic -- Shifting the foundations from the states to the people -- Partial losses -- Anti-federalism -- False issues : Bill of Rights, democracy, and slavery -- The modest and mercantile commerce clause -- Creditors, territories, and shaysites -- Hamilton's Constitution -- The turning of Madison -- The end of the constitutional movement.

This book is a history that explains the adoption of the US Constitution in terms of what the proponents of the Constitution were trying to accomplish. The Constitution was a revolutionary document replacing the confederation mode with a complete three-part national government supreme over the states. The most pressing need was to allow the federal government to tax to pay off the Revolutionary War debts. In the next war, the United States would need to borrow again. The taxes needed to restore the public credit proved to be quite modest, however, and the Constitution went far beyond the immediate fiscal needs. This book argues that the proponents' anger at the states for their recurring breaches of duty to the united cause explains both critical steps and the driving impetus for the revolution. Other issues were less important.
