To subscribe to my Federalist Papers emails, please email me at Mary@Webster.org The 10th-grade reading level edition of The Federalist Paper is available! This edition is much easier to read than my edition published in 1999. And the index has been expanded to 41 pages. The index topics are so thorough and extensive that I've put the full list of index topics below. You can order this book from my catalog page. Summer 2009--Books purchased from this website are $ 16.95. (Publisher's price is $ 29.95.) *The Federalist Papers, written immediately following the Constitutional Convention in 1787, explains the precedents and psychology supporting the United States Constitution. The Federalist Papers: In Modern Language* updates the grammar and vocabulary while retaining the original meaning. The riveting discussion in The Federalist Papers addresses the flaws that doomed previous attempts at self government, issues still being debated in the twenty-first century. The average citizen's interest in politics is demonstrated by the proliferation of TV news networks, political magazines and newsletters, and news-talk radio. This book makes the *Papers* accessible to everyone and includes: subject headings and sub-headings create a complete outline of the *Papers, the index may be used with any edition of The Federalist Papers, a glossary, the U.S. Constitution It was the Founding Fathers' keen grasp of human psychology and their use of historical examples to make their points that kept Mary Webster working on this new edition of The Federalist Papers* and studied the The Federalist Papers for more than 10 years. Mary was a political junkie when she started reading the Papers. She found herself disagreeing with some ideas she heard from politicians and pundits, but she didn't have the background to explain why they were bad ideas. She was very surprised and delighted to discover that the same discussions she heard on C-SPAN were in *The Federalist Papers.
