Secret Proceedings and Debates of the Constitutional Convention, 1787 by Robert Yates

Secret Proceedings and Debates of the Constitutional Convention, 1787 by Robert Yates

One of the most important collections of documents pertaining to the formation of the Constitution of the United States. Notes on the convention taken by Robert Yates, Chief Justice of New York, and copied by John Lansing, Jun. Esquire, late chancellor of that state, members of that convention. Including The Genuine Information, laid before the Legislature of Maryland, by Luther Martin, Esquire, then attorney-general of that state, and member of the same convention. James Madison thought that Yates and Martin appear to have reported in angry terms what they observed with jaundiced eyes. It must be added that in many particulars Yates' notes were fuller than Madison's own. Luther Martin's Genuine Information is a general summary of the course of the Debates, with a running criticism on the provisions of the Constitution. Also contains an appendix with documents by Edmund Randolf, and others.

The Devil's Necktie, Blond Cargo, Dead Is Dead, and The Fourth Gunman are among John Lansing's thrillers featuring Jack Bertolino, as well as the true-crime non-fiction book Good Cop Bad Money, co-written with retired NYPD Inspector Glen Morisano. He was a writer and producer for Walker, Texas Ranger, as well as a co-executive producer on the ABC show Scoundrels. John is a Long Island native who currently lives in Los Angeles.
