Constitutional Convention (United States)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

This article is about the original convention that created the U.S. Constitution. For that Constitution's method of changing itself, see Article Five of the United States Constitution.

"Federal Convention" redirects here. For other uses, see Federal Convention (disambiguation).

 

Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States

The Constitutional Convention[1]:31 (also known as the Philadelphia Convention,[1]:31 the Federal Convention,[1]:31 or the Grand Convention at Philadelphia[2][3]) took place from May 25 to September 17, 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although the Convention was intended to revise the Articles of Confederation, the intention from the outset of many of its proponents, chief among them James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, was to create a new government rather than fix the existing one. The delegates elected George Washington to preside over the Convention. The result of the Convention was the creation of the United States Constitution, placing the Convention among the most significant events in the history of the United States.

 

The most contentious disputes revolved around composition and election of the Senate, how "proportional representation" was to be defined (whether to include slaves or other property), whether to divide the executive power between three persons or invest the power into a single president, how to elect the president, how long his term was to be and whether he could run for reelection, what offenses should be impeachable, the nature of a fugitive slave clause, whether to allow the abolition of the slave trade, and whether judges should be chosen by the legislature or executive. Most of the time during the Convention was spent on deciding these issues, while the powers of legislature, executive, and judiciary were not heavily disputed. Once the Convention began, the delegates first agreed on the principles of the Convention, then they agreed on Madison's Virginia Plan and began to modify it. A Committee of Detail assembled during the July 4 recess eventually produced a rough draft of the constitution. Most of the rough draft remained in place, and can be found in the final version of the constitution. After the final issues were resolved, the Committee on Style produced the final version, and it was voted on and sent to the states.

Earl Holliman!

I had a crush on him way back in the day, with his whippet body, his freckles and his cute lip curl, not to mention that he has always been a fine character actor!

He seems to feel the bold, the commanding, and the impetuous, more than what is soothing or gentle. The muscles of the face swell, and its veins start out; the wild eye rolls doubly wild, the mouth quivers, and Beethoven looks like a wizard, overpowered by the demons whom he himself has called up.

  I say to you againe, doe not call up Any that you cannot put downe; by the Which I mean, Any that can in Turne call up somewhat against you, whereby your Powerfullest Devices may not be of use. Ask of the Lesser, lest the Greater shall not wish to answer, and shall commande more than you.

LMMFAO!!! One could argue this scene is more durably uproarious than practically anything else in all their movies.

This post will generate little notice, but give me a chance to "vent."

 

The Organ has given this admitted lerker a chance to post to the forum on topics I enjoyed contributing to. My contributions to subjects as diverse as Marie Clare Alain carving a pumpkin, Werkmeister III temperament, and Julliard organ faculty hijincks have been welcome with good humor and, always, acceptance. Simply put, I have enjoyed, for what it was worth, contributing. And importantly, I have liked your immediate good natured feedback.

 

What has happened to the thread? I have no answer but would welcome a response from the original authors. Time to end and begin another? Not for this infrequent but conscientious contributor to answer.

 

My best thoughts gentlemen, and thanks for all your input including non-related Beethoven and operatic arcania---all of which I would enjoy under a separate, immediately recognizable, header.
