The Anti-Federalist Papers:
In the series of Anti-Federalist Essays, there are many Authors which are unknown. Some of the essays were never signed, and many of the Anti-Federalist pen names remained totally anonymous in their writings.
In the Anti-Federalist essays, some of the essays are pieced together from separate writings to complete the point made by the Anti-Federalists. Anti-Federalist Papers #23 for example, was pieced together from Brutus #7 & 8. I hope to eventually add all the individual writings as originally penned to this series as well.
Some of the Anti-Federalists believed the Constitution gave Federal Government far too much power, while others were adamantly opposed to the newly proposed Constitution in it's entirety, and merely wanted to see the Articles of Confederation amended.
NOTE: Some information is still missing a I am attempting to compile all of the individual writings and speeches. This will take some time, so I apologize for the delay in getting all of the information here.
