Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

The Amazing True Story of the Election That Saved the ConstitutionIn 1789, James Madison and James Monroe ran against each other for Congressthe only time that two future presidents have contested a congressional seat.But what was at stake, as author Chris DeRose reveals in Founding Rivals: Madison vs. Monroe, the Bill of Rights, and the Election That Saved a Nation, was more than personal ambition. This was a race that determined the future of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the very definition of the United States of America.Friends and political allies for most of their lives, Madison was the Constitution?s principal author, Monroe one of its leading opponents. Monroe thought the Constitution gave the federal government too much power and failed to guarantee fundamental rights. Madison believed that without the Constitution, the United States would not survive.It was the most important congressional race in American history, more important than all but a few presidential elections, and yet it is one that historians have virtually ignored. In Founding Rivals, DeRose, himself a political strategist who has fought campaigns in Madison and Monroe?s district, relives the campaign, retraces the candidates? footsteps, and offers the first insightful, comprehensive history of this high-stakes political battle.DeRose reveals:How Madison?s election ensured the passage of a Bill of Rightsand howMonroe?s election would have ensured its failureHow Madison came from behind to win a narrow victory (by a margin of only 336 votes) in a district gerrymandered against himHow the Bill of Rights emerged as a campaign promise to Virginia?s evangelical ChristiansWhy Madison?s defeat might have led to a new Constitutional Conventionand the breakup of the United StatesFounding Rivals tells the extraordinary, neglected story of two of America?s most important Founding Fathers. Brought to life by unparalleled research, it is one of the most provocative books of American political history you will read this year.…
