Herbert J. Storing's Complete AntiFederalist, hailed as 'a civic event of enduring importance' (Leonard W. Levy, New York Times Book Review), indisputably established the importance of the AntiFederalists' writings for our understanding of the Constitution. As Storing wrote in his introduction, 'If the foundation of the American polity was laid by the Federalists, the AntiFederalist reservations echo through American history; and it is in the dialogue, not merely in the Federalist victory, that the country's principles are to be discovered.'This onevolume edition presents the essence of the other side of that crucial dialogue. It can be read as a genuine counterpart to the Federalist Papers; as an original source companion to Storing's brilliant essay What the AntiFederalists Were For (volume I of The Complete AntiFederalist, available as a separate paperback); or as a guide to exploring the full range of AntiFederalist writing. The AntiFederalist makes a fundamental source of our political heritage accessible to everyone.
