= = Z.

Position: wants a bill of rights, and government protection. Also wants Congress to have more power. State: Z Occupation: Z Z was not a known member of the Constitutional Congress. He (or she) was an anonymous person who wrote two letters to various newspapers in response to Benjamin Franklin and others speaking about the ratification of the Constitution. Z was not a member of any ratifying convention as far as we know. (S)He might have voted either way, because in the letters published, Z expresses both a desire for a bill of rights as well as a desire for Congress to have more power. Arguments For: Z argues that Congress needs more power and that Congress should regulate things like foreign trade and taxes. Arguments Against: Z argues that the Constitution its current form is not sufficient; there needs to be a bill of rights which explicitly enumerates the rights which the government may not take away from the people. Z also argues that unless people are sure that the new government will work, and that it will be administered properly, it should not be passed. Franklin’s wishy-washy statements on his opinions of the Constitution frighten Z. Z has no friends in Congress. Z stands alone!
