Instead of revising the Articles of Confederation, the framers had created a fundamentally new national plan that placed over the states a supreme government w/ broad powers. They proposed to submit it to conventions in each state, elected "by the people thereof," for ratification. Immediately, a fierce storm of argument broke out. Federalist supporters, Antifederalist opponents, & seekers of a middle ground strove to balance public order & personal liberty as they praised, condemned, challenged, & analyzed the new Constitution. "The Debate on the Constitution" captures in two volumes (both superbly edited by the great Harvard historian Bernard Bailyn) on a scale unmatched by any previous collection, the extraordinary energy & eloquence of our first national political campaign. Each volume presents press polemics & private commentaries together w/ speeches from the state conventions by "founding fathers" & many other voices that are lesser known today. Informative notes, biographical profiles of all writers & speakers, detailed chronologies of relevant events, appendices & a detailed index enrich each volume w/ fascinating background.
