The Virginia Ratifying Convention and the Birth of the 10th Amendment
While the essays found in the Federalist Papers provide an intellectual argument in favor of the Constitution, it was at the conventions where its supporters had to confront the specific concerns of skeptics and opponents.

As Thomas Jefferson and James Madison strategized on how to address the Alien and Sedition Acts, they corresponded by mail, discussing their ideas.
