A little dry at parts, but the overall message of the unity of the States and its space in the global theatre is a lesson that shouldn't be forgotten, namely at a time like this. Highly recommended for die-hard fans of history, particularly US history.

Excellent lesson in how our government was formed. Our founders really were brilliant and looked at all previous attempts from Greek all the way through Great Brittain to learn what was good and what was bad. In addition, they understood human behaviour and motivations, which they built checks in to the Constitution to mitigate those negative tendencies. It's a bit dry, and I recommend the audio, but every citizen should read this and learn how the government works (or deadlocks if needed)

Absolutely crucial to understanding the purpose and process of our Constitution. You either agree with the drafters of the Constitution or you don't. Read #10 and #51 especially.

These papers were written to convince the electorate to ratify the newly proposed U.S. Constitution. written in a very legalistic, 18th century style. It would be very hard for many readers of the 20th century to comprehend.
