I think that's a bit of an overstatement, actually. While there are certainly instances of invective (mostly in Hamilton) there is real content here, not just noise, and what has surprised me in the course of analyzing all this is how much thought went into what I regarded before as relatively insignificant details. The reasoning behind a majority of total number of senators approving a treaty and a majority of members present, to cite one example.

Nor was this a one-voiced show. The anti-Federalists made enough good points to force the Bill of Rights into the ratification process, a truly fundamental alteration of the plan Madison, Hamilton, and Jay are trying to sell to a skeptical public. We have a couple of Patrick Henry speeches coming up to illustrate that point. Long (sigh!) speeches... ;-)

Deck chairs on the titanic.
