Huck thinks that the Anti-Federalists were right and that the Constitution while an admirable attempt, was doomed to fail from the very start.

I think that history has shown that the Anti-Federalists were indeed correct in most, if not all, of the arguments they made against the Constitution.

From what I've gleaned from readings Hucks posts he's a big fan of the Articles of Confederation.

Huck, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not even convinced it was all that admirable. The antifeds weren't right on every point, but the points that they were right about were decisive. The Constitution should have been rejected.

It certainly needs fixing, and is far from perfect.
