The Original Argument: The Federalists' Case for the Constitution, Adapted for the 21st Century

I tried years ago to read "The Federalist Papers" and was discouraged because they wrote "above my pay grade". I recommend this listen to to anyone at my pay geade or below.

Sorry, this is not a thriller story. I listened to the arguments and duly noted them. It did, however make clear the original intent of the constitution.

No. It takes more than one listen to absorb all the information

Odd preview questions for a nonfiction classic like the Federalist.

This should be required reading!! This is for anyone who believes the Consitution is a "living" document and open to interpretation.

This is a long over due translation. I wish I had this in high school and college.

As a history buff, I loved hearing the stories behind the writing of the Federalist Papers. These papers are something everyone one should read at least once in their lives, but there has to be a better way to go about it. The book was just plain boring most of the time.

Very monotone. The parts read by Beck were good, but the other narrator was just plain boring.

I like Glenn Beck's ideas, but his way of expressing those ideas is redundant. He writes the way he talks. Pat Gray's contribution to the book is pretty dry reading for my taste.

I thought it was still too technical and dry.

Also, there were parts that delved deeply into issues that don't have any relevance today.

Could have used more context, background and development of the truly crucial Papers, and could have done without several others.

Good to have given some time to such important documents.

Worth a listen, but it might be a labor for you to stick with it and not lose focus.

Thank you. I've never been political but now I know. Thank you for putting our forefathers and our constitution in prospective for me. God Bless America, yes, but God Bless American's to know their blessings and keep their blessings. Amen

The importance of this book is of the most importance to the future of America and to our understanding of what the birth of our country was all about.
If you are concerned about freedom you will gladly absorb this book. If you are among those few that want to embrace socialism and the spreading of wealth will hate it.

I have only got through the Intro's and have been inspired with new hope for our country and the people who are awake to what is happening and doing something about it.

Should be required reading for all Americans who are contemplating voting. Especially in today's political climate.

My only complaint is that Glenn didn't narrate the book himself!

I found this to be a very difficult audio to follow. There was no story. Just facts and dates and concepts.
Disapointment
