The "Original" Constitutional Crisis

Hiya everyone! Welcome to our first really in-depth week of material on the Constitution and federalism! Today's episode is going to hone in on the Constitutional development process, with discussion of a few major historical events (such as the Boston Massacre and the Constitutional Conventions) as well as the major negotiations that went down between the large and small states (regarding representation compromises as well as Federalists and anti-Federalists. Our conversation ends with an overview of the different articles of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the 17 other amendments we have now. It's a lot to cover but hey, it was the original constitutional crisis... and that deserves some real discussion!
