Amazon.com Review "This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren ... should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties." So wrote John Jay, one of the revolutionary authors of The Federalist Papers, arguing that if the United States was truly to be a single nation, its leaders would have to agree on universally binding rules of governance--in short, a constitution. In a brilliant set of essays, Jay and his colleagues Alexander Hamilton and James Madison explored in minute detail the implications of establishing a kind of rule that would engage as many citizens as possible and that would include a system of checks and balances. Their arguments proved successful in the end, and The Federalist Papers stand as key documents in the founding of the United States.
Product Description The documents thatshaped a nation.
Three of the founding fathers brilliantly defend their revolutionary charter: the Constitution of the United States, a milestone in political science and a classic of American history.
Into the minds of our foundersAugust 6, 2010 Richard Kennedy(Tulsa, OK) The Federalist Papers is like getting a rare glance into the minds of our founding fathers and their reasoning for the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. Each article is carefully argued and thoughtfully presented. It's the real deal.

Small pocket book with very small print. However, it is a great little book.
Federalists Papers - good read!!!August 1, 2010 B. Calhoun(Rocklin, CA) This book is a group of Federalists papers written in the true language of the day. It is historic in that it is exactly what our forefathers were thinking and what they wanted to do with our country. Please buy this book and read it - then give it to someone else to read - and so on. We must get back to our roots if we are to survive!
The Federalist PapersJuly 13, 2010 jakejr7 I enjoyed this book very much. It not only taught me things I never knew but was also a great review of what I learned in school. A must read for those who want to know about the true American History.
The "why" and foundation of our US ConstitutionJune 28, 2010 pfoy This is a MUST READ for all Americans. It is the writings of our Founding Fathers about why the Constitution is written as it is and the dangers of straying from it.
