THE ORIGINAL FEDERALIST CASE FOR THE CONSTITUTION: THE FEDERALIST PAPERS AND OTHER KEY AMERICAN WRITINGS ON LIBERTY (Special Updated Edition)
Updated Barnes and Noble Nook NOOKbook Edition
FROM THE FORWARD
"In today’s complicated world, it is sometimes hard to know what constitutes being an American. With freedom from attack from all sides and our political discourse resembling at times nothing more dignified than the tawdriest of daytime soap operas, it is sometime too easy to forget what the ideals of liberty as enshrined in our Constitution truly means.
This book was created to help us relearn all that is important about America and our Constitution, by reading the very words of those individuals who have collectively made our country great. Inside this volume you will find classic words by the original authors of the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison.
You will also find patriotic writings by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and Abraham Lincoln, as well as more modern contributions by Ronald Reagan, and George Bush.
This volume also contains all the inaugural addresses of every single American president, as well as the complete Common Sense by Thomas Paine.
We hope that this small volume will help us remember and cherish our country and our Constitution for today and forever, so help us God."
