The story recounts the intra-state jealousies of colonial America, the creation of the House and Senate in 1787, and the struggle of a handful of tenacious statesmen - James Madison, George Washington and Ben Franklin - to forge a new form of government and unite the states into a nation. The result of their tireless efforts, the Constitution, has been called "the greatest political document of the modern world."
