The Debate on the Constitution charts the course of the bloodless revolution that created the government of the United States and the world's oldest working national charter. In the elventh-month struggle over ratification, Federalist supporters, Antifederalist opponents, and seekers of a middle ground closely examined and brilliantly debated the document that was to shape the country's future. Their extraordinary energy and eloquence is captured here first hand in a unique collection of speeches, newspaper articles, pamphlets, and private letters.
