But today we knoW the | answer. It is eloquently presented in the ure of our great union of j States, sweeping from sea to.sea, and offering to more-than. 120,000,000 in- habitants a standard of well-being unsurpassed among nations. The delegates to that historic Convention, meeting in old Phila- delphia's Independence Hall, builded not only better than they knew, but better than they had dared hope. During early August of 1787, dis- , cussion in the Convention dealt | largely with the proposed draft of a Constitution offered by the “Com- | mittee of Detail.” One of its most interesting phases centered ona principle involved in the Revolu- ionary ._War—namely, opposition axation without Representation.” dt, came.to the fore;during debate onthe ‘Committee proposal to limit | 1 | | \faising ‘measures; and appropriation p bills tothe lower:branch of:Congress. .
