A gathering of demi-gods --
How far do you intend to go? : the perils of power --
I do not trust you, gentlemen : schisms, threats, and compromises --
Like "a trial of colours to a blind man" : debating the presidency once again --
I consent, sir, to this constitution because I expect no better : the convention ends --
The constitution is now before the judgment seat : the battle for ratification --
This great and good man : the inauguration of President George Washington.
