Widely considered to be among the most important historical collections of all time; The Federalist Papers were intended to persuade New York at-large to accept the newly drafted Constitution in 1787. Authored in parts by Hamilton; Madison; and Jay; the documents have been referred to and heavily cited countless times in all aspects of American government and politics. Their influence is undeniable; as they remain prevalent in our political climate today. This collection remains a vital benchmark in American political philosophy. Signed by the members of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 17; 1787; the US Constitution is a landmark legal document that comprises the primary law of the federal government and outlines its three chief branches. The Federalist Papers were a rebuttal to the general public of New York’s initial dissuaded response to the idea of the US Constitution. This collection includes both the full text of The Federalist Papers as well as the entire text of the Constitution; so that readers may compare both documents and reference one another at their leisure. In addition to these documents; the book contains a foreword by constitutional scholar Dr. Louis Fisher. With its rich history; The Federalist Papers and the Constitution of the United States will educate you on the groundwork that shaped the greatest country in the world.

Anyone thinking about joining the military should read this before making a decision. Too many young kids join up thinking they are actually fighting for freedom or to defend this country only to realize that war is nothing but a horrible thing that makes no sense. The reason it makes no sense is because it only benefits the people who profit from war.As stated by General Butler in this book; the only legitimate reason for war is to defend your country from an invading force that's at your borders. Other than that there is no good reason for war. Money; resources; and land are things that most wars are fought for these days. Things that the average soldier and citizen that is doing the fighting and sacrificing will never benefit from.I'm fairly certain that if kids in high school were required to read this book; you'd have less people supporting these illegal wars we are currently engaged in. It might even help stop future wars if enough citizens were educated instead of just blindly following patriotic propaganda.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Content is great. Edition is crap.By Troy SchilperoortI will never understand publishers who release a nice hardcover edition without putting the least effort toward editing. This edition is riddled with spelling errors; grammatical errors; and basic formatting errors. It lacks footnotes or endnotes. The content is great; and the title essay is a must-read; but the rest of the speeches seem to have been transcribed either by someone who lacks even a high school education; or someone who lacks English fluency. The tells lie amongst the failure to accurately transcribe basic English idiomatic expressions or grammar. The following examples are some of the great instances of word salad you'll find in this edition:"this estimate most also include""[the average overseas soldier] knows now that he was merely a poem in a game""How will he might fare should he to lucky enough to return""As far a wealth and properties are concerned"These were taken from a mere 20 page section. I could comb the rest of the book for more examples; but I think you get the picture of the effort that was put into editing this edition.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. War "IS" a RacketBy Cecille ChanEveryone should read this book; ESPECIALLY those who love to accuse antiwar people of being against our own soldiers. They somehow manage to distort what is being said to suit their agenda. No one can accuse me of not knowing how it is to have a loved one join the military and be sent off to a war zone. I have had loved ones do exactly just that. War really is a racket. Both sides of any war (since time immemorial) is funded by the same people. The controllers of the wars (they control everything else) pit us against each other as they rake in billions of dollars in income from selling war machines; etc. The value of our lives; our loved ones lives; is of no consequence to them. These controllers are heartless. I cringe every time I see TV programs patronizing this long running SCAM. I do not consider our soldiers heroes. I consider them VICTIMS of this racket. Our world is in a dismal state and I have little hope we would ever get out of this state since most of the population has been dumbed down. Only a very small part of the population knows exactly what is going on. Everyone is too busy watching their sports channel; their tele novelas; etc.; oblivious to the destruction being foisted on us by the controllers of this planet. Everyone needs to wake up. I read 65-70 books a year; just for the information. This is the only way to hone one's bullsh*t radar (to read extensively). I do not expect anyone to read a much as I do; but read at least a few books a year; or subscribe to alternative media online and have a glimpse of the truth. WAKE UP!
