Participate in a thoughtful discussion of the book Ratification: The People Debate the Constitution, 1787-1788, by Pauline Maier. This award-winning book provides an expansive description of each state's path toward ratifying the proposed constitution. As the book is lengthy, we plan to digest a little at a time.

- February 12th - Introduction and Prologue
- March 12th - Chapter 1: The Morning After and Chapter 2: Take This or Nothing
- April 9th - Chapter 3: A War of Printed Words and Chapter 4: The Pennsylvania Ratifying Convention
