This work emerged shortly after the ratification of the Federal Constitution by Massachusetts in February 1788. As an Anti-Federalist document, its primary concern is the potential threats posed by the new Constitution to individual liberties and state sovereignty. In this pamphlet, Warren articulates strong objections to the proposed government structure, fearing it could lead to tyranny and the erosion of rights previously fought for during the American Revolution. She critiques the federal powers granted under the new Constitution, emphasizing the dangers of centralized authority, insufficient checks on power, and inadequate representation for the populace. Throughout her observations, Warren calls for accountability in governance and a commitment to protecting individual rights, urging for a reconsideration of the Constitution to safeguard the freedoms hard-won by the American people.
