The Constitution
Outline for Speech at the Constitutional Convention
On June 18, 1787, Hamilton delivered a speech at the Constitutional Convention that began by enumerating the flaws of the Articles of Confederation, the document that united and governed the United States before the Federal Constitution. There is no transcript of the speech, which lasted about six hours, but it survives in the notes of fellow delegates and in this outline that Hamilton drafted.
