Arguing against ratification were such patriotic luminaries as Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, and George Clinton. Known as Anti-Federalists, they opposed the Constitution on the grounds that it consolidated too much power in the hands of a central governing -body-something the nation had just fought a war to escape. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Antifederalists: Men of Great Faith and Forbearance\u003c\/i\u003e couples a wide variety of Antifederalist documents with insightful commentary to provide the first truly representative and up-to-date work on this important political group.
