From the Paper:

"The creation a system of government for the United States after the Revolutionary War was almost as difficult as the actual fighting of the war itself. The creation of the constitution was an inner and ideological struggle between the founding fathers of the nation, rather than an external struggle between military powers like the Revolutionary War. Still, it was a difficult and divisive time in our country s history. The great turning point the battle for setting up a new system of government to replace the Articles of Confederation was that of the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
