There was intense debate on ratification during the period from the
drafting and proposal of the federal Constitution in September 1787
to its ratification in 1789. The principal arguments in favor of
ratification were documented by Madison, Hamilton, and Jay in "The
Federalist." The arguments against ratification appeared in various
forms, by various authors, most of whom used a pseudonym.
Collectively, these writings have become known as the
Anti-Federalist papers.
"
The Anti-Federalist Writings of the Melancton Smith Circle" makes
available for the first time a one-volume collection of
Anti-Federalist writings that are commensurate in scope,
significance, political brilliance, and depth with those in "The
Federalist." Included in this volume as an appendix is a
computational and contextual analysis that addresses the question
of the authorship of two of the most well-known pseudonymous
Anti-Federalist writings, namely, "Essays of a Federal Farmer" and
"Essays of Brutus." Also included are the records of Smith's
important speeches at the New York Ratifying Convention, some
shorter writings of Smith's from the ratification debate, and a set
of private letters Smith wrote on constitutional subjects at the
time of the ratification struggle.
