Description

The Constitutional Convention: A Narrative History from the Notes of James MadisonIn 1787, the American union was in disarray. The incompatible demands of the separate states threatened its existence; some states were even in danger of turning into the kind of tyranny they had so recently deposed. A truly national government was needed, one that could raise money, regulate commerce, and defend the states against foreign threats without becoming as overbearing as England. So thirty six year old James Madison believed. That summer,

In 1787, the American union was in disarray. The incompatible demands of the separate states threatened its existence; some states were even in danger of turning into the kind of tyranny they had so recently deposed. A truly national government was needed, one that could raise money, regulate commerce, and defend the states against foreign threats-without becoming as overbearing as England. So thirty-six-year-old James Madison believed. That summer, the Virginian was instrumental in organizing the Constitutional Convention, in which one of the world's greatest documents would be debated, created, and signed. Inspired by a sense of history in the making, he kept the most extensive notes of any attendee.Now two esteemed scholars have made these minutes accessible to everyone. Presented with modern punctuation and spelling, judicious cuts, and helpful notes-plus fascinating background information on every delegate and an overview of the tumultuous times-here is the great drama of how the Constitution came to be, from the opening statements to the final votes. This Modern Library Paperback Classic also includes an Introduction and appendices from the authors.

The perfect casual work pants!
Size: 16, Color: Camel
I love these pants! I used the size chart to order per my measurements and it worked out perfectly. I am 5’5” 180lbs and ordered size 16 in Camel. These are more on the casual side, but with the right styling they could be dressed up. They are soft with a brushed cotton feel. They have just enough stretch to add to comfort, but not so stretchy that they lose their shape or don’t retain initial structure. I wore them for a full work day the required a lot of walking, bending, and squatting. They are just a couple inches longer on me than I’d like, but most cropped/ankle style pants are. I didn’t notice prior to ordering they don’t have a button. No worries - the zipper stays up and makes for a flattering and different look. I plan to order again in a couple different colors. I’m shocked at how good the quality considering I only paid $14 for them.

Very shirt and ugly zipper
Size: 4, Color: Mauve
Way too short and zipper is large and ugly. I'm only 5'3" and these still looked like capris. The zipper was more obvious and unattractive. Style otherwise was cute casual, but overall not OK.

Disappointed
Size: 0, Color: Rust Orange, Size: 0, Color: Rust Orange
I initially loved these pants when I first took them out of the bag and put them on. They fit like a glove and I also loved the capri length. After washing once, the legs of the pants became so loose and baggy. Very disappointed. Also, there is a stain on the leg that became more visible. What on earth happened to these pants??

Comfortable pants, flattering, appear durable, run big, adorable pink color.
Size: 8, Color: Mauve
These pants were surprisingly comfortable and flattering. I got a size US 8, though I normally wear a 10 or 12. An interesting thing to note is that while Amazon's size recommendation was 12, the size 8 was highlighted to add to my basket. The size 8 in the pink was on sale for less than $9, where the size 12 was much more. Reading other reviews, I saw that they ran at least one or two sizes big for a lot of people, so I went ahead and go the size 8 and am glad I did. I am 5'5" and the hit right at the bottom of my ankle when standing and about an inch and a half above my ankle when sitting. The color is really nice; they wash and dry with few wrinkles. The zip only front means that they need to fit well. I ended up ordering the orange rust color in the same size and it was slightly too tight in the waist, so I had to send them back. This pair, however fit perfectly. I am very pleased with them, especially for the price. The material is heavy and they appear to be durable. I am not an apple shape, so I usually do not have an issue with pants being too tight in the waist, and I will say that, I tried these back on the same day I tried the orange ones on and these still fit the same, so there is some difference in cut between colors, but that may or may not apply to all sizes. Really like the pink pair.

Great find!
Size: 4, Color: Black
These are great pants. I have them in black and navy. They have a prewashed appearance and a chino like fabric. I had read the reviews and sized up and the pants were big so I returned them. I bought the 4’a and they fit perfectly! I won’t put them in the dryer because I don’t want them to shrink in length. They are very cute casual pants for a very good price!
