About book The Original Argument: The Federalists' Case For The Constitution, Adapted For The 21st Century (2000)

I had bought this entire book a long time ago thinking I'd read it. Since I only had to read #10 and #51, I have decided the rest of them are not getting read until I HAVE to. OMG, even with annotations, they were hard to read. I do understand more why things happened as they did way back then, and I cannot imagine having had to typeset these letters. I actually did a YouTube version of these and found that when these were written, newspapers were prolific back then – New York had FIVE! Wowza! Anyway, if you want a clearer understanding of why it is said that our founding fathers were geniuses, read these. I echo the reviews of several others, especially Julie. This type of plain(er) English reading should be mandatory in school classes we used to call Civics. I only wish that the originator of the idea to translate the original texts of the Federalist Papers into language more in use today had convinced Glenn Beck to include all of the published papers penned by the three men collectively known as Publius in this work. Perhaps his translation is available--I'd surely welcome it as an addition to my library.

Very educational but a little dry, despite the attempt to spruce up the federalist papers.
