Between 1783 and 1803 several decisions were made that determined the shape of our government. These decisions led to now well-accepted principles such as civilian control of the military, a written Constitution, a Bill of Rights, a capitol in Washington DC, and limited presidential terms of office. In this course we will examine these pivotal decisions, the circumstances leading to them, and the men who made them.
