À propos de cet e-book

The Federalist is a collection of articles written in 1787–1788 by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay to defend and explain the U.S. Constitution. It is considered the most authoritative clarification of the Constitution ever put to print, save the Constitution itself.

The Federalist Papers Made Easier is the first edition to separate all eighty-five papers into short individual segments for closer analysis and clarity. To make the lengthy essays easier for modern Americans to understand, every improvement has been made short of rewriting the text itself:

Lengthy paragraphs are subdivided with descriptive headlines and summaries

Key phrases are underlined

Larger text in two columns

All paragraphs are conveniently numbered

Archaic words are defined

Obscure references are footnoted

Review questions at the end of each paper highlight important points

An extensive index directs readers to specific paragraphs rather than page numbers

An appendix includes answers to quiz questions; the Anti­Federalists’ thirty-five main objections to the Constitution; and the texts of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution.

The Federalist is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand and perpetuate the timeless principles of constitutional liberty into the next generation.
