"Is man capable of ruling himself? Glenn Beck revisited Thomas Paine's famous pre-Revolutionary War call to action in his #1 New York Times bestseller Glenn Beck's Common Sense. Now he moves a decade forward in history to focus on the next great battle in America's founding: the debate over our constitution. The Federalist Papers, the eighteenth-century collection of political essays pseudonymously authored by Alexander Hamilton, James Madision, and John Jay, defined, defended, and shaped our Constitution. The Papers laid bare the "original argument" over questions that are as relevant and urgent today as they were at the birth of our nation. Questions like: How should power be divided between the states and the federal government? What is the remedy if the government becomes too tyrannical? What is the proper use of military force? And, of course, the most central question of the entire American Experiment: Is man really capable of ruling himself? Realizing that most Americans have not read these essential papers, Glenn Beck has updated a wide selection of them into modern English. But while our Founders' words have been reworked, their meaning has not. Beck's translation is true to the original, and the introductions, commentary, and annotations he adds makes them an invaluable resource for understanding the historical works that still remain one of the primary sources for interpreting the Constitution and understanding the true intent of our Founders." - from the rear outer cover.
