Just received first installment. Better not venture into this document without a decent command of language. These guys were EDUCATED and their prose reflects it.

So we probably wouldn't see any Evangelists, Ring Wing Bush Nuts reading this important book. Thats the problem today.

I always find it interesting that left-wing liberals automatically assume that conservatives, evangelicals, and so-called "right wing Bush Nuts" are uneducated. Freedom of speech allows each of us a right to our own opinions, last time I checked, even if those opinions are of a conservative or religious nature. I do believe that I'll begin reading this book. No time like the present to continue expanding one's vocabulary!

I completely agree with reeneejune. The attitude of 1Pounder is directly the mentality against which Hamilton writes. Granted, generalization for the sake of a coherent point is often necessary, but 1Pounder, that's not even a good generalization. It certainly is not helpful to an overall discussion.

People need to read these papers. People need to understand, where America has come from. Papers that have been lost, yet not forgotten. I need original papers. Awesome read!!

If you think these are good, run, don't walk, to the Anti-Federalist Papers! And agree with swalls99...these folks were EDUCATED and committed.

All Americans, and particularly teens, should read these essays. The ideology makes me cry, and ultimately, THINK... I had never felt "patriotic" before reading them. Beautiful and profound...
