dlrowdimfoyo 's review for:
The Federalist Papers
by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay
I read this through the Kindle app for free.
I am not a history person, but I decided I should try reading this, especially since it was readily available. I don't have the requisite knowledge about the context to really understand this, but I appreciated the different arguments put forth by Hamilton, Madison, and Jay.
I went into this really knowing nothing about when they were written or for what reason. Of course, it is very easy to pick up on quickly. It made me very grateful that such intelligent and thoughtful people were involved with the organization of the young United States. I guess I never gave much thought about how the US government came to be.
It was interesting to me to see the rivalry that some of the founding fathers felt towards Europe showing through--a reference to Jefferson's desire to prove American animals were larger than European.
