The Federalist Papers
Customer Rating:
This book shows how far we have drifted into waters feared and avoided by our founding fathers. It shows how we have desecrated our constitution and are being led away from the founding principals by liberal government and judiciary.

indepth background on the U.S. Constitution

The U. S. Constitution is a miraculous document. Unfortunately, it's not required reading. First, read the Declaration and then the Constitution of the United States. When you have completed these tasks, read "The Federalist Papers". Some might think the Constitution is a simple document that everyone agreed upon. It wasn't. It took a lot of work to get it written and even more to get it signed. There was much debate surrounding it. And when it looked like it was "losing ground", James Madison, with the help of Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, wrote letters in local papers under pseudonames. These letters were later compiled into what we now call, "The Federalist Papers". They help to understand the Constitution and to really appreciate what we have in it.
Important, not a first priority
Customer Rating:
This is a must if you are interested in US history. But I would place ahead of this, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, various writings of Thomas Jefferson, etc.
