Signing Their Rights Away
Signing Their Rights Away chronicles a moment in American
history when our elected officials knew how to compromise—and put
aside personal gain for the greater good of the nation. These men
were just as quirky and flawed as the elected officials we have
today: Hugh Williamson believed in aliens, Robert Morris went to
prison, Jonathan Dayton stole $18,000 from Congress, and Thomas
Mifflin was ruined by alcohol. Yet somehow these imperfect men
managed to craft the world’s most perfect Constitution. With 39
mini-biographies and a reversible dust jacket that
