 The Anti-Federalist Papers June 11, 2008
Arrived promptly and in good condition.
The book contains Newspaper articles of the period challenging the ratification of the proposed Constitution, along with debates intended to show weaknesses in it. Very valuable to the researcher into The Constitution, and the thoughts that went into it.

The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates (Signet Classics) A good read and exactly what I was looking for. It, among other books, will be recommended reading for a class on the "Great Debate."

"The Anti-Federalist Papers" along with the "Federalist Papers" is an excellent way to really learn about how our Constitution came about. Pseudonyms like The Centinel, The Pennsylvania Farmer, John DeWitt, Cato, et.al. set forth the cons against why various provisions of our Constitution should be viewed with great suspicion, and they offered counter proposals to safeguard our freedoms from ultimate despotism. I haven't read all the papers as I am also studying the Federalist Papers along with this book; but I am finding that many of the warnings the Anti-Federalists expressed have either come true or have come a long way toward becoming true.
I surely recommend purchasing this book if you want to learn the truth behind the reasons for our Constitution being as it is, and if you want to finally understand this very important basis for our government.
long over due September 11, 2007
I read the Federalist Papers when I was in school. Both should be required reading today.
