Ep. 124 - Constitutional Convention & the Preamble

Fifty-five men arguing over 88 days.  That's what it took at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 to draft a preamble and the seven articles that make up our Constitution.  With the Articles of Confederation as a starting point, what were the challenges facing the delegates?  How were compromises reached balancing state vs. federal power?  What structural changes to the Articles of Confederation were made?  All of these questions and many many more are answered in this exciting chat with our student panel, Janine Turner and Professor Gordon Lloyd of Pepperdine University.
