520			_aTo Rescue the Constitution by Bret Baier is a history of how George Washington helped guide the United States through its most fragile early years. It explains how the weak Articles of Confederation nearly caused the new nation to fail, and how Washington’s leadership at the Constitutional Convention helped create the U.S. Constitution. The book also shows how, as the first president, he set key precedents—like a strong but limited executive branch and peaceful transfer of power—that helped stabilize the young republic.
