The struggle over the U.S. Constitution in 1788 pitted the Federalists, supporters of a stronger central government, against the Anti-Federalists, the champions of a more localist vision of politics. But, argues Saul Cornell, while the Federalists may have won the battle over ratification, it is the ideas of the Anti-Federalists that continue to define the soul of American politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile no Anti-Federalist party emerged after ratification, Anti-Federalism continued to help define the limits of legitimate dissent within the American constitutional tradition for decades. Anti-Federalist ideas also exerted an important influence on Jeffersonianism and Jacksonianism. Exploring the full range of Anti-Federalist thought, Cornell illustrates its continuing relevance in the politics of the early Republic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA new look at the Anti-Federalists is particularly timely given the recent revival of interest in this once neglected group, notes Cornell. Now widely reprinted, Anti-Federalist writings are increasingly quoted by legal scholars and cited in Supreme Court decisions--clear proof that their authors are now counted among the ranks of America's founders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCornell, Saul:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Saul Cornell is associate professor of history at Ohio State University in Columbus.","brand":"Omohundro Institute and Unc Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50413210632466,"sku":"9780807847862","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_f9ac9b4d-f4e7-4ef5-a6eb-a610bc33e498.jpg?v=1729349407","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-other-founders-anti-federalism-and-the-dissenting-tradition-in-america-1788-1828-9780807847862","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
