Book Reviews of The Federalist Papers (Signet Classics)

Book Review: Relevant After 222 Years
Summary: 4 Stars

If you look in the news on any given day you see discussions for down-sizing and decentralizing the federal government and transferring authority to the individual states. You can read the Federalist Papers and understand all the points of view about why our government was structured the way it is, and why Federalists (Hamilton & Jay) and Anti-Federalists (Madison) both supported the Constitution. This is an absolutely fascinating read, particularly in today's context regardless of your position, and a great piece of history.
