If Men Were Angels…
As the Founders struggled with the Articles of Confederation’s flaws and were taking cues from the state constitutions, a crisis created a sense of double urgency.
Marching Forward to ‘We the People’
What concepts would you find in those early state constitutions if you were browsing the archives?
Land, Land, and More Land
The passage of the Northwest Ordinance is often considered the most significant legislation of the pre-constitutional nation.
Let’s Create a Government
The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union were written in 1777 but not ratified until 1781.

After months of strenuous debate and indecision, how did the summer of ‘76 evolve into the summer of revolution?
‘Ought to Be Free’
Why did Congress decide to create a written document regarding independence?
Fleeing the Cruel Monster
In May 1775, some delegates harbored a hope for reconciliation, but that option seemed to be disappearing.
The Future of the Colonies
None of the delegates of the Second Continental Congress had any experience in “birthing a nation,” but they were learning.
