The essays in this volume consider the writings of those who drafted the Constitution, as well as the arguments pro and con presented during the ratification debates. The first of these essays examine the founding principles from historical, political and philosophical perspectives. The second group outlines the main Anti-Federalist arguments. A discussion of the nature and implications of the doctrine of separated powers follows and the volume closes with psycho-historical portraits of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. The volume focuses attention on the Founding period so that the original character and principles of our political order may be seen clearly, in spite of the glory and veneration with which age and custom have draped our constitution.
