In this civics lesson, Chief Learning Officer Kerry Sautner and Senior Fellow for Constitutional Studies Thomas Donnelly explore the battle over the ratification of the U.S. Constitution—beginning with Convention delegates like George Mason who refused to sign the Constitution and continuing through the debates between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists. The class also examines great works like The Federalist Papers (#10 and #51) and Brutus #1. Students explore why this time in America was called a “grand national discussion.”
