The Anti-Federalist Papers

This book is dedicated to the great spirit of wisdom and determination that gave our Founding Fathers the ideas and form to bring forth this new nation in liberty and with justice for all men. This noble experiment in the form and structure of government has served us well and should long endure. Yet, liberty is always only one generation away from tyranny. May we find the strength and the will to refuse the onslaught of the enemies of freedom who would fundamentally restructure our foundations and remove us from the path of liberty. Believing that our success is because of our foundational beliefs, we also caution that our movement away from these foundations will certainly signal our fall as a nation. To the end of preserving our American culture and our foundations, we dedicate this book to its writers, to the Constitution they were attempting to purify and preserve and to our children who inherit the form of government that we pass down to them. Our world is changing and the interpretation of our founding documents are changing. Those changes threaten to move us from our underpinning to a totally secular society without moorings, and without direction. May God help us to stem the tide of change that threatens to bring tyranny from freedom and control from liberty.
