Journal of the House of Representatives of the United States by United States Congress

This book encapsulates the events and speeches given during the 3rd session of the 1st United States Congress, as assembled in Philadelphia in 1790. Historical documents of the early United States Congress are rare, and this collection allows historians and political scientists an unprecedented opportunity to study the formation of one of the world’s most stable and prosperous governments. It is particularly valuable for those interested in the debate and discussion of the early US Constitution as the framework for the government was still being shaped. The topics covered include finance, foreign policy, the nascent US military, Indian affairs, and the creation of a uniform militia. The authors’ multidisciplinary backgrounds allow for a deep dive into these topics.
