The Development of the United States ConstitutionThis book is an overview of the development of the United States Constitution, starting from the beginning of its founding documents of the first settlements through the war for independence from Great Britain through the establishing of the republic. This dissertation will examine the writings, statements, and proclamations of the founders of this great nation and their meaning of government as the first rule of law for America. It will also examine the forming of these documents into articles of law that were first written by the settlers, incorporating their heritage and beliefs into principles of rights integrated into the legal process of law for the final development of our Constitution. It will go on to scrutinize the historical development of the Constitution by briefly reviewing the character and motivations of the founding fathers before, during, and after the ratification process in determining the true intentions of these great men. It will evaluate the idea of Christianity in Colonial America and scholars' ongoing debate that this nation was founded on Christian principles or, as some claim, were men of deist, having a belief in God based on reason rather than revelation. This book will explore this avenue from the prospective of their writings, statements, legislation, and articles that helped form the original Constitution of the United States of America.
