  • Summary

  • On this special Constitution Day episode of *Dave Does History* on Bill Mick Live, Dave Bowman takes us back to September 17, 1787, when the framers of the U.S. Constitution gathered for one final act—signing the document that would define the nation. Through vivid storytelling, Dave delves into the tense atmosphere in the room, where not all delegates were in agreement. He examines the optimism of some, like Benjamin Franklin, who urged unity despite imperfections, and the concerns of others, like George Mason, who saw fatal flaws, especially the absence of a Bill of Rights. With his signature blend of humor and insight, Dave also explores how the debates of that day still resonate in our modern world. How did the compromises reached shape the future of the United States, and what lessons can we draw today? Join us for a compelling historical analysis, filled with rich details, as we reflect on the birth of the Constitution and its lasting impact.

    Tune in and learn why, as Franklin said, this Constitution would “astonish our enemies” and shape the future of a fledgling nation.
