Pełny opis

Before George Washington fully defined the presidency, before the Supreme Court found its voice, and before political parties divided the nation, the First Congress faced an extraordinary challenge: turning the Constitution from ink on parchment into a functioning government. The First Congress: Turning the Constitution into Government brings to life the dramatic debates, political rivalries, and historic compromises shaping America's earliest national institutions between 1789 and 1791.

Inside Federal Hall in New York City, a remarkable assembly of founders-including James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Roger Sherman, and George Washington-confronted urgent questions determining whether the new republic would survive. They created executive departments, established the federal judiciary, passed the Bill of Rights, launched the first census, shaped the nation's finances, and defined the balance of power between Congress and the presidency.

Through vivid narrative and richly detailed storytelling, this book reveals how the First Congress transformed constitutional theory into practical government. It captures not only the legislative achievements, but also the personalities, conflicts, and high-stakes decisions forging the American political foundations. More than two centuries later, the precedents established by the First Congress still shape the United States.

It is the dramatic story of where American self-government truly began.
