Description:

The paper examines the nature of the constitutional debates between the Federalists and the anti-Federalists that led to the adoption of the US Constitution. The paper offers an understanding of the history both leading up to and during the period of debate. The paper relates that because of the debate that surrounded the document from the start, the terms of the Constitution are ambiguous, flexible and thus always open to debate.
