In his book, Inventing a Nation — Washington, Adams, Jefferson [Yale University Press, New Haven 2003], Gore Vidal states that the Republican Party of today is basically the heir to the anti-federalist parties of the nation’s past That is not a trivial observation.

I highly recommend "The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates" along with the companion volume "The Federalist Papers." Reading these two books will give you both sides of the arguments that revolved around the creation and adoption of our Constitutional government.
