Unlike the Federalist Papers written in support of the Constitution, the authors of these articles, mostly operating under pen names, were not engaged in a strictly organized project. Major Anti-Federalist authors included Cato (likely George Clinton), Brutus (likely Robert Yates), Centinel (Samuel Bryan), and the Federal Farmer (either Melancton Smith, Richard Henry Lee, or Mercy Otis Warren). Speeches by Patrick Henry and Smith are included as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe complete texts of the documents that tell the story of the clashes and compromises that gave birth to the United States of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShould the members of the government be elected by the direct vote of the people?\u003cbr\u003eShould the government be headed by a single executive, and how powerful should that executive be?
