Anti-Federalist Papers (Henry - Dover ed.)

Author: Patrick Henry, Others

ISBN: 9780486843452

Binding: paperback

Section: Political-Science

Although never collected in as definitive a form as The Federalist Papers, these statements of opposition appeared in various publications and eventually became known as The Anti-Federalist Papers. Some of their arguments were incorporated into the first ten amendments to the Constitution — the Bill of Rights — but others remained unaddressed. The persuasive and well-argued statements encompassed by this volume continue to provide a valuable and timely perspective on the necessary limits of power.
