The Constitutional Convention damaged nothing less than a revolution in the type of the American federal. Led by Wayne Madison, a tiny cohort of delegates devised an idea that would radically alter the total amount of vitality between talk about and national governments, and then sprung that idea on the essentially unsuspecting convention. The success of this bold and excellent strategy was, however, far from assured, and the best final result of the delegates' labors-the creation of the frame of federal that would permit the fragile American union to flourish-turned out to be very different from that which Madison had originally envisioned. In fact, there was hardly any agreement one of the framers about the type of the federal government that they had just created. People will come to appreciate the difficulties that the Founding Fathers confronted in creating a form of federal that, while imperfect in many respects, nevertheless approaches, in what of Benjamin Franklin, "so near to perfection as it can."
