Excerpt from Pamphlets: Constitution of the United States, Published During Its Discussion by the People 1787 1788
Of liberty, and trace its social and moral effects on sciences, virtue, industry and every improvement of which the human mind is capable; but we can only discern its true value by the practical and wretched effects of slavery; and thus dreadfully will they be realized, when the inhabitants Of the Eastern States are dragging out a miserable existence, only on the gleanings of their fields; and the Southern, blessed with a softer and more fertile climate, are languishing in hopeless poverty; and when asked, what is become Of the flower of their crop, and the rich produce Of their farms - they may answer in the hapless stile Of the Man of La Manelza, - The steward Of my Lord has seized and sent it to Madrid. Or, in the more literal language of truth, The exigencies of government require that the collectors of the revenue should transmit it to the Federal City.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book collects the arguments for and against the Constitution that was proposed in 1788 in the wake of the American Revolution. The ratification of the Constitution was a highly contentious issue, and this book presents the positions of both the Federalists who supported it and the Anti-Federalists who opposed it. The arguments concern the structure of the federal government, the balance between the different branches of government, and the appropriate scope of federal power. The Federalists, represented by authors such as Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, argued that the new Constitution would create a more effective and stable government, while the Anti-Federalists, represented by figures such as George Mason and Patrick Henry, argued that it would lead to tyranny. This book offers insights into how the US Constitution came into being, and the concerns and hopes of those who helped create the structure of the United States government, and remains an invaluable resource for understanding the foundational debates of American history and law.
