The Anti-Federalist Papers - (Dover Thrift Editions: American History) by Patrick Henry (Paperback)

The Anti-Federalist Papers is a collection of influential essays, speeches, and letters written by some of America's most notable Founding Fathers, including Patrick Henry, George Mason, Richard Henry Lee, James Monroe, George Clinton, and Melancton Smith.

These powerful statements warned of the dangers inherent in a powerful central government and helped shape the passage of the United States Bill of Rights.

Despite never being collected in a definitive form, these writings have continued to provide valuable perspectives on the necessary limits of power.

As such, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, politics, and the importance of individual rights and freedoms.
