Synopsis/Annotation: PART ! - Section by section of the Constitution 
followed by appropriate notes from the Federalist Papers. PART 2 - 
Authors discussion of current issues covered or not covered by the 
Constitution. APPENDIX A - A brief biography of the 38 signers of the 
Constitution.
Most Americans have no idea what has happened to our Constitution, 
and the way our national and state leaders over the past 75 to 100 
years, have usurped this great document. This book helps you 
understand the founding fathers intentions. By reading and 
understanding the Federalist Papers, you can fully appreciate what 
they gave to us.

Hope this helps,

Patty
