People forget that the Federalists lost the arguments about whether or not to have a 'bill of rights' added to the Constitution. Lots of information about the Federalist Papers online, but the
Letters From a Federal Farmer, also known as the 'anti-federalist papers' are not often referenced. They were essentially the answers and arguments made in response to the Federalist Papers. Lots of good information there.
I have always contended that studying the “Federalist Papers” without also studying their opposite number was ridiculous.
Unfortunately, the passage of time has proven the anti-Federalists to have been correct....in spades.
