• 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...
