In three additional essays, John Dunn explores the composition of the "Federalist Papers" and the conflicting agendas of its authors; Eileen Hunt Botting explains how early advocates of women's rights, most prominently Mercy Otis Warren, Judith Sargent Murray, and Charles Brockden Brown, responded to the Federalist-Antifederalist debates; and Donald Horowitz discusses the "Federalist Papers" from the perspective of recent experiments with democracy and constitution-making around the world.
