Synopsis
Two meetings in July: one in Philadelphia, the other in Versailles. On 4 July, 1776, the distinguished delegates of the Second Continental Congress convened at Philadelphia State House to frame and debate the terms of a Declaration. Subsequently, on 20 June, 1789, representatives of the Third Estate gathered in a tennis court to swear a solemn Oath. This book describes these pivotal meetings separated by thirteen years and a vast ocean. Both of them represent enduring and resolute attempts at revolutionary nation or state building. Both were built on a dream of universal franchise. Both have in the intervening years taken on the status of myth.
