The Constitutional Convention was filled with fierce debates, high-stakes compromises, and visionary leadership that shaped the future of the United States. In this episode, we explore the key players, the major conflicts—like representation, slavery, and state power—and the compromises that made the Constitution possible. How did James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and others craft a system that still governs us today? And what almost tore the convention apart? Join us as we uncover the story behind America’s founding document.\n
