What did your New York ancestors think about the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1787? Were they for it? Against it? Join U.S. Constitution historian John Kaminski, professor and director of the Center for the Study of the American Constitution at the University of Wisconsin, as he talks about how New Yorkers felt about all that was going on as our country's law of the land was created and ratified. John also talks about other states.

John is also the co-editor of The Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, 1787-1791
