About THE FEDERALIST PAPERS: A Modern Translation In
This is a modern translation of The Federalist Papers printed side by side with the original texts of seven of the most frequently cited of the Federalist Papers. This presentation allows for reading either or both versions and provides the opportunity to compare the original to the modern language translation. Covered in these essays are topics such as the need to protect the government from the grasp of powerful interest groups, the need for a forceful presidency, an independent court system, the balance of powers between Congress and the President, and between the Federal government and the State governments. This volume includes Federalist #1 Federalist #10 Federalist #39 Federalist #51 Federalist #53 Federalist #70 Federalist #78 "Genevieve Gilbert-Rolfe has made a significant contribution to the study of the Constitution for high school and college students (as well as the general reader). Her translation makes these core American documents accessible in a way they have never been before. The quality of the paraphrasing is consistently very high. She retains the arguments of The Federalist Papers but does so in a way that the reader will find much easier to understand. Reading The Federalist Papers can provide a healthy reminder that the structure and principles upon which a government is based greatly affect the political outcomes that we can expect from it." J. Christopher Soper Distinguished Professor of Political Science Social Science Division, Seaver College
