By the mid 1780s, the United States is a young nation in trouble. It is impossible to get all 13 states to agree on issues of national policy. Even the Annapolis convention to modify the Articles of Confederation fails to attract enough delegates. A follow-up meeting is scheduled for the following spring in Philadelphia, but there is concern that it may not fare any better. The "Journal of the Constitutional Convention" recorded by James Madison provides first-hand commentary on the events of September 1787 as the delegates trickle into the convention site to face the challenges before them.
