The Letters of Fabius in 1788 on the Federal Constitution

By Fabius and John Dickinson

Book Overview

""The Letters of Fabius in 1788 on the Federal Constitution"" is a book that comprises a series of letters written by Fabius, a pseudonym for an anonymous author, in 1788. The letters were written during the time when the United States Constitution was being debated and ratified by the states. The book contains a total of twelve letters, each addressing different aspects of the Constitution and the proposed government structure.Through the letters, Fabius raises several concerns about the Constitution, including the powers of the federal government, the role of the judiciary, and the potential for the government to abuse its power. The author argues that the Constitution, as it was written, gave too much power to the federal government and did not adequately protect the rights of the states and individual citizens.The book also includes a detailed analysis of the Federalist Papers, a series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay in support of the Constitution. Fabius critiques the arguments put forth in the Federalist Papers and offers counterpoints to their claims.Overall, ""The Letters of Fabius in 1788 on the Federal Constitution"" provides a unique perspective on the debate surrounding the Constitution and offers insights into the concerns and criticisms of those who opposed its ratification.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
