What the Anti-Federalists Were For: The Political Thought of the Opponents of the Constitution / Edition 1

by Herbert J. Storing

Overview

Storing here offers a brilliant introduction to the thought and principles of the Anti-Federalists as they were understood by themselves and by other men and women of their time. His comprehensive exposition restores to our understanding the Anti-Federalists share in the founding and its effect on some of the enduring themes and tensions of American political life. The concern with big government and infringement of personal liberty one finds in the writings of these neglected Founders strikes a remarkably timely note.
