About this audiobook
The fire was lit first. Two days' travel north of the room with the curtains and the quills, fifty chiefs sit in a legislature older than the English Parliament — older than the Constitution by a margin measured not in years but in regimes. The men in Philadelphia are not originating. They are arriving. You were told there was a gap — Greeks, two thousand years of silence, then a few tired men with a good pen — and now you are about to find out who lived in it.
