It was not until 1987 that historian Herbert Storing at the University of Chicago succeeded in collecting all the Anti-Federalist essays into seven volumes packed with footnotes. Then over the past 24 years, even more anti-Federalist essays were located at various arcane sources.

For our effort, we are only using the anti-Federalist essays identfied by Ralph Ketcham as being a critical part of the dialogue over ratification. In the next two months as we finish our project, we will be covering Brutus #16, two huge speeches by Patrick Henry delivered at the Virginia Ratifying Convention, and notes on four speeches delivered by Melancton Smith at the New York Ratifying Convention. We give the anti-Federalists their due.

June 5th, 1788 by Patrick Henry is a classic!
