I disagree with that though. I think they're good enough, all we have, and what they write makes complete sense for a constitution that basically served to make sure we didn't end up with another King George.

How can the Anti-Federalist Papers explain anyone’s original intent? The only original intent the Anti-Federalists had was to not have the Constitution at all.
I think the main point is that it is *not* all we have. we have a great deal of discussion about what peoples thoughts were in that time, and the federalist and the massively bigger anti-federalist papers show that.
