Abstract
Explaining the plans and ideas brought to Philadelphia
in 1787 as well as answers and results of the major
conflicts that delegates there were met with, will be
the topic of section I. The second section touches on
the political environment of the time period, followed by
a discussion of the actual Antifederalist reactions to
the Constitution. Section four presents six selections
of authors and speakers who were involved in the Antifederalist
movement both at the Constitutional Convention
and in the individual state ratification conventions.
A short summary of conclusions will follow.
The Antifederalists have been classified as the losers
in this great debate, and as such, their positions have
largely been eliminated from history. It is hoped that
this paper will uncover some of the ideas which have
been buried through the ages.
