Decision in Philadelphia: The Constitutional Convention of 1787 by Christopher and James Lincoln Collier Discussion Leader – Michael Bellacosa
In Philadelphia on Friday May 25, 1787, the Constitutional Convention met and began the deliberations that would lead to the draft-ing, signing, and eventual ratification the Constitution of the United States. The Collier brothers – Christopher, a history professor and for-mer CT State Historian and James, a non-fiction and children’s author – co-wrote this engaging and thorough treatment of those 88 days. Their book is sprinkled throughout with mini-biographies of many of the delegates with a substantial treatment of Connecticut’s own Roger Sherman, the prime mover of the so-called “Connecticut Compromise” (also called the “Great” or “Sherman” Compromise). This broke an early major logjam between the interests of the large versus the small states and resulted in the different methods of representation in our House and Senate. Library Journal called it “the best popular history of the Constitutional Convention available.” RSVP 203-834-6240 Lunch is included
