039 The New Republic: The Constitution

In this episode we explore the origins of the Constitution
through the lens of national security. The Challenges facing the
newly independent United States were many. Faced with a weak
central government and, for some, a dangerous level of internal
unrest, in the summer of 1787 a Constitutional Convention was
called. The document would ultimately form the basis of our
current system of government and was meant to insure domestic
tranquility and see to the country's common defense.
