The Constitution was a mistake. The anti-feds were right.

Which portions of the anti-federalist papers resonate most?

I posted a few quotes. Actually, some of them didn't go far enough, and decided that a Bill of Rights would address their concerns. They were wrong about that. And the BoR contained some glaring errors in its own right.

The basic idea which resonates with me is that the Constitution created a centralized government that would not be contained, and that obliterated state sovereignty. That the safeguards sounded nice in theory, but would not hold in practice. That the supremacy of the national gubmint would lead to tyranny. That it was way more gubmint than was necessary. That judicial tyranny was a threat to liberty. etc.

Impossible day to carry on a serious discussion. Would like to know your interest in the anti-feds, etc.
