The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates

by Ralph Ketcham Narrated by Sean Runnette

Overview

The complete texts of the documents that tell the story of the clashes and compromises that gave birth to the Unites States of America.



Should the members of the government be elected by direct vote of the people?



Should the government be headed by a single executive, and how powerful should that executive be? Should immigrants be allowed into the United States?



How should judges be appointed?



What human rights should be safe from government infringement?



In 1787, these important questions and others were raised by such statesmen as Patrick Henry and John DeWitt as the states debated the merits of the proposed Constitution. Along with The Federalist Papers, this invaluable book documents the political context in which the Constitution was born.
