 Among the most important books written by Americans for Americans February 5, 2010
James H. Inzeo Jr.

In a climate in which, if we are honest about discussing our Constitution, it is worthwhile to explore the best arguments for the document which are fond here in the Federalist Papers. While it should never be thought as the final authority on the meaning of the Constitution, the Federalist Papers explains the necessity of as well as the hopes for the government described in the Constitution through the eyes our Hamilton (America's first great proponent of centralized National government), Madison (who believed in a stronger federation that would create a National government that was also federal in character), and John Jay (America's first chief justice). No American library should be without this book.

Not a casual read. It was written in 1780s English - using words and wording not in common use today. But, you get used to it. It was also written to oppose the anti-federalists. So, a lot of time is spent refuting their arguments. - a little off MY purpose for reading - but still enlightening. My overall sense of the book was that it was not written for a 2009 audience. I know this is obvious, but that is my sense reading this book.
I got this book hoping to learn more about the framers' intentions for The Constitution. I was NOT disappointed. This book achieved that goal. The ideas presented in this book are so fundamental and foundational that I can't believe I've been on this earth for 33 years and am only now reading them. This book should be required reading for every high school graduate.
I highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in politics or civics.

This book shows how far we have drifted into waters feared and avoided by our founding fathers. It shows how we have desecrated our constitution and are being led away from the founding principals by liberal government and judiciary.
