The Federalist Papers Made Easier: The Substance and Meaning of the United States Constitution
Podrobnosti o e‑knize
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.
