America’s Secret Reboot: The Making of the U.S. Constitution | The American Story | Ep 8

The American experiment nearly collapsed before it ever truly began. Plunge into the chaos of post-Revolution America: mutinous soldiers surrounding Congress, a government too weak to defend itself, and a nation fracturing under the failed Articles of Confederation. From Shays’ Rebellion shaking the states to the top-secret, sweltering summer in Philadelphia where Madison, Hamilton, Franklin, and Washington forged an unprecedented new system of government, this is the dramatic story of how the Constitution was born. Packed with tension, rebellion, and political intrigue, this episode reveals how close the United States came to falling apart – and how bold ideas, fierce debate, and fragile compromise saved it.
