Manage episode 216884496 series 2323135
Mason seeks a few hours to add a Bill of Rights. The delegates reject the idea, but regret it later. Everyone ends up with a different understanding of the commerce clause.

The Patterson team discusses the tonnage clause and whether a President can pardon himself.
