Now they’ve turned their attention to the 39 men who met in the summer of 1787 and put their names to the U.S. Constitution.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSigning Their Rights Away\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles a moment in American history when our elected officials knew how to compromise—and put aside personal gain for the greater good of the nation. These men were just as quirky and flawed as the elected officials we have today: Hugh Williamson believed in aliens, Robert Morris went to prison, Jonathan Dayton stole $18,000 from Congress, and Thomas Mifflin was ruined by alcohol. Yet somehow these imperfect men managed to craft the world’s most perfect Constitution. With 39 mini-biographies and a reversible dust jacket that unfolds into a poster of the original document, \u003ci\u003eSigning Their Rights Away\u003c\/i\u003e offers an entertaining and enlightening narrative for history buffs of all ages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e04\/30\/2019; Paperback, 304 pages, 5.30(w) x 7.90(h) x 1.00(d)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Quirk Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52268420137242,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1785\/3978\/files\/signingrightsaway.jpg?v=1779475987","url":"https:\/\/ncmuseumofhistoryshop.com\/products\/signing-their-rights-away","provider":"NC History Museum Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
