The Albany Antifederal Committee of Albany, New York issued a detailed analysis of the proposed United States Constitution on April 26, 1788. The report appeared in the New York Journal with 26 signatures. Their analysis approached the proposed Constitution from a democratic perspective and found it seriously wanting, though the committee admitted the Articles of Confederation to be faulty. It made a typical Anti-Federalist argument that the Constitution created not a federal government but a consolidated, national government.
Famous quotes containing the word committee:
“Like other cities created overnight in the Outlet, Woodward acquired between noon and sunset of September 16, 1893, a population of five thousand; and that night a voluntary committee on law and order sent around the warning, “if you must shoot, shoot straight up!””
