Abstract

This thesis examines the need to place more emphasis on teaching the role of the Antifederalists in the 1787-88 debate over the adoption of the U.S. Constitution to high school history and government students. The cited research shows the Antifederalist role is now underemphasized in high school history textbooks, despite the fact that accepted state and national standards encourage it. The thesis includes reviews of high school textbooks regarding the Antifederalists. It also includes a proposed lesson plan for teaching the Constitutional debate with the role of the Antifederalists given its due|emphasis.
