The Federalist Papers Made Easier

The Federalist is a collection of articles written in 17871788 by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay to defend and explain the U.S. Constitution. It is considered the most authoritative clarification of the Constitution ever put to print, save the Constitution itself.

The Federalist Papers Made Easier is the first edition to separate all eighty-five papers into short individual segments for closer analysis and clarity. To make the lengthy essays easier for modern Americans to understand, every improvement has been made short of rewriting the text itself:

Lengthy paragraphs are subdivided with descriptive headlines and summaries
Key phrases are underlined
Larger text in two columns
All paragraphs are conveniently numbered
Archaic words are defined
Obscure references are footnoted
Review questions at the end of each paper highlight important points
An extensive index directs readers to specific paragraphs rather than page numbers

An appendix includes answers to quiz questions; the AntiFederalists' thirty-five main objections to the Constitution; and the texts of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution.

The Federalist is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand and perpetuate the timeless principles of constitutional liberty into the next generation.
