 Required reading October 21, 2008
Every American high schooler should be required to read and understand this book and the importance of our founding fathers' principals, so important, yet so misunderstood today.
The Federalist Papers August 31, 2008
The Federalist Papers need no review. They are classics in American History and were the basis for convincing the Colonials that the Constitution was a sound structure for the new Government.

You will not know American History without reading these papers. I am a history major and forget or never realized the importance of these papers. I know I never read them in college.
Another vote for must read May 25, 2008

The details have already been well covered so let me just add another five star vote for must read(or for many of us reread). Whatever your political views you simply cannot understand the basis of our countries principles without working through the Federalist Papers. Step away from the bloggers and bar stool pundits(same thing really-just different delivery) and do your own homework on the founding of this great country. I am not a flag waving, rah, rah patriot type but it is hard to come away from a reading of the Federalist papers without a profound respect, admiration and in my case awe of the principles which form our government.
Lastly, this is a review of the Signet series which is very good but frankly I suggest not spending too much time worrying about which edition, publisher etc. The main point is to get a copy and start studying.
