A primary-source debate on the Constitution’s democratic character

Part of the Debating American History series, this compact volume frames the U.S. Constitution through a single contested historical question: how democratic was it? The book supplies primary sources for examining evidence and building an interpretation, placing argument and historical reasoning at the center of the study. Its structure invites readers to weigh competing views of the Constitution and support a position with evidence rather than treating the question as settled.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students studying the U.S. Constitution or American history
  • Readers interested in primary-source historical inquiry
  • Classrooms using debate- and evidence-based discussion

Book overview

Embracing an argument-based model for teaching history, the Debating American History series encourages students to participate in a contested, evidence-based discourse about the human past. Each book poses a question that historians debate--How democratic was the U.S. Constitution? or Why did civil war erupt in the United States in 1861?--and provides abundant primary sources so that students can make their own efforts at interpreting the evidence. They can then use that analysis to construct answers to the big question that frames the debate and argue in support of their position.

Democracy and the US Constitution poses this big question: How democratic was the U.S. Constitution?
