The latter group, writing under pseudonyms, amassed a substantial number of influential essays, speeches, and letters that warned of the dangers inherent in a powerful central government. \u003cbr\u003e Although never collected in as definitive a form as \u003ci\u003eThe Federalist Papers, \u003c\/i\u003e these statements of opposition appeared in various publications and eventually became known as \u003ci\u003eThe Anti-Federalist Papers.\u003c\/i\u003e Some of their arguments were incorporated into the first ten amendments to the Constitution -- the Bill of Rights -- but others remained unaddressed. The persuasive and well-argued statements encompassed by this volume continue to provide a valuable and timely perspective on the necessary limits of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Anti-Federalist papers were written pseudonymously, but among the most notable are presumed to be Founding Fathers Patrick Henry, George Mason, Richard Henry Lee, James Monroe, George Clinton, and Melancton Smith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.9 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47285660909817,"sku":"9780486843452","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/U3o1ZStSS1hKM0FuRktTZWpuL2ZPdz09_cdd33b14-a80a-403b-b0d2-4deffe50f820.webp?v=1769098313","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-anti-federalist-papers-paperback-5","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
