AFP16 - Anti-Federalist Papers - Part 16
In his letter No. 16, Centinel calls out the Founders for their latest skullduggery: They are writing off their debts to the Union - using the very language of the Constitution!
Through legislative gymnastics they are absolving themselves of their financial obligations. By eliminating ex-post-facto laws that bind them to their fiduciary requirements, they are, in essence, shifting responsibility away from themselves and onto the new government and, by extension, their fellow citizens.
Centinel laments that while his own state of Pennsylvania has honored its debts, it will be taxed at the same levels as those states which have contributed little - or nothing - to the fledgling nation since the Revolution.

AFP15 - Anti-Federalist Papers - Part 15
In Letter no. 15, Centinel, with a sharp eye, is viewing the political landscape of Massachusetts. He sees the false panic being ginned up by the Framers. He is concerned that the people of that good state are willfully denying inclinations toward caution.
Centinel says ancient social instincts toward collective prudence are a bulwark of free peoples. Centinel worries that those instincts are being forgotten because of hobgoblins conjured by the moneyed elites. He points to Massachusetts' narrow approval of the Constitution as a barometer. He mentions the recent rebellions that have occurred. He avers that the "controlled media" have fomented unrest as another ploy to frighten the citizenry into approving the Constitution. Centinel exhorts his fellow residents to be wary of impostors masquerading as friends.
