This work compiles various pamphlets published between 1787 and 1788 during the pivotal discussions surrounding the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The collection aims to illuminate the debates of that time and the myriad opinions on issues of governance that shaped the nation. At the start of the volume, the author provides a preface that contextualizes the significance of pamphleteering in shaping public opinion and political discourse throughout history, particularly in America. Ford discusses the rarity and importance of these pamphlets as sources for understanding the contentious debates over the Constitution's ratification, highlighting key figures on both sides of the argument. He emphasizes how many of the objections raised at the time resonated with deep-seated concerns about federal authority, individual liberties, and the potential for tyranny, which are also relevant to contemporary discussions about governance.
