Summary: You need to know what is in this book
Comment: For those newly awakened to American politics, nothing is more important than the Federalist Papers. The federal government now violates almost every principle of government, and every rationale for its existence, as given by Madison, Hamilton, and Jay. From a government of limited and enumerated powers, celebrated by these Founders, we now have a government that, in the belief of most and the frank admission of many, is a government of unlimited power. They would call this tyranny, and say why. Americans sleep through it, waiting for the check in the mailbox.

Summary: The Foundation of an Unique Government
Comment: The Federalist Papers are rightly considered one of the most authoritative explanations of the provisions of the Constitution in existence. While much further interpretation and definition of the Constitution has taken place over the past 200+ years through the slow accretion of judicial interpretation, the Federalist remains the source for a contemporary explanation of the political causes and justification for virtually every clause in the Constitution.
Some passages are less thrilling than others but Nos. 10, 39, 48, and 51 are about as good as it gets in terms of explicating the structure of what became the US government.
A must read for political science majors, history majors and selected parts for high school students in every government course.
Rating: 4
Summary: Must read for all young Americans
Comment: If a young scholar first understands the history behind these groundbreaking papers, he or she should gain much knowledge from reading them.
Every person in America should read this book before they get involved in politics or begin a career in government.
