Features: The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787 documents the entire process by which the Founding Fathers of the United States designed the federal government, recording the speeches of the delegates during daily meetings. The entire book is printed based on Madison's original manuscripts from the Constitutional Convention, day by day, in a style similar to a serial. It captures the dialogues of historical figures (the delegates) in specific scenes (daily, increasingly in-depth debates). From this, readers not only see the unfolding of the plot (the growing number of topics) but also, through the dialogues, observe the gradual development and changes in the thoughts of the historical figures, understanding their personalities. At the end of the play (the full record), a tragic atmosphere lingers, leaving readers in long-lasting contemplation after closing the book.
