This film was developed as a reenactment of
the convention held to ratify the Constitution in New York State. The use of blending modern day media (circa
late 1980’s) and TV personalities and journalists provides for a program that
is bound to capture the interest of your students while imparting a great
deal of accurate historical content on the issues that confronted the
convention and also the issues facing the new nation, and the sharp divisions
among the federalists and anti-federalists. |
