The U.S. Constitution, born out of conflict and economic turmoil, was the result of a series of brilliant compromises. With dramatizations and depictions of art from the period, Paul Burnford's "The Background of the United States Constitution" stresses the importance of key compromises and the events behind them. The video also shows why weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation led to the Constitutional Convention and why a Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers were necessary to allow for final ratification of the Constitution.
