The Founding Reader

Search the Declaration, Articles of Confederation, Constitution and Bill of Rights, all 85 Federalist essays, the major Anti-Federalist writings and three founding-era antislavery documents. Retrieve exact passages and whole documents with attribution, dates and reading links, open fifteen curated Federalist-versus-Anti-Federalist debates, trace which writers answered which, and check whether a quotation really appears in these documents and under whose name. Search results are candidates for your assistant to evaluate; the tools quote only the collection's text and never invent passages, authorship or replies. A quote missing from the collection is reported as not found here, never as fake.
