Federalist-Antifederalist Debates

The years were 1787 and 1788. Along with the debate over the Constitution that was taking place in the state legislatures, an "out-of-doors" debate raged in newspapers and pamphlets throughout America's thirteen states following the Constitutional Convention over the Constitution that had been proposed. This is the story of this great debate over the ratification of the United States Constitution.
