After a Round Table Discussion on 12 August 1945, in the course of which University of Chicago Chancellor Hutchins emphasized the need for world government, Richard P. McKeon and G. A. Borgese wrote to the Chancellor asking him for financial and moral support for an institute to formulate a world constitution. On 16 September 1945. Hutchins gave his support and by November 1945 the first document was presented for consideration by the Committee. In 1947 The Preliminary Draft of a World Constitution (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1948) was published. From June 1947 through June 1951 the Committee published a journal, Common Cause, devoted to articles concerned with problems relevant to the issue of world government and how to affect it.
The members of the Committee at the time of the publication of the Draft were: Robert M. Hutchins, G. A. Borgese, Mortimer J. Adler, Stringfellow Barr, Albert Guérard, Harold A. Innis, Erich Kahler, Wilber G. Katz, Charles H. McIlwain, Robert Redfield, and Rexford G. Tugwell. Additionally, Elisabeth Mann Borgese worked as a research assistant for the Committee and later editor of the journal Common Cause.
The Committee to Frame a World Constitution Records contains correspondence and miscellaneous material. This collection reflects the close relations between the Committee and other organizations advocating some form of world government. Specifically, the papers are comprised of the files of the Committee secretariat, which was also the editorial staff for Common Cause. They include the 150 documents used as the basis for the discussions in the thirteen meetings of the Committee; the stenographic transcriptions of the meetings; a complete set of Common Cause and a single copy of The Draft. The Records also include correspondence concerning Committee administrative matters, publication, and business arrangements, comments on Common Cause and the preliminary draft of the Constitution, and miscellaneous manuscript materials.
