New Federalist Papers: Essays in Defense of the Constitution (A Twentieth Century Fund Book)

Alan Brinkley

Today's political controversies call into question some of the principles that have shaped government through most of this century.New Federalist Papers, written by three constitutional experts, defends the representative democracy put in place by the framers of the Constitution. Like Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, the authors of New Federalist Papers see danger in the effort to diminish and relocate federal power. They recognize that it is the task of public discourse to bring about reasoned consideration of such issues as gun control, term limits, flag burning, the balanced budget amendment, and campaign finance reform.
