Synopsis
A collection of 19 essays written in the spirit of the original "Federalist Papers". The authors, concerned that current skepticism regarding the Constitution and the federal government threatens the political stability of the United States, attempt to reinforce the original principles enunciated by Hamilton, Jay, and Madison in their seminal work.

Industry Reviews
"The authors of the 'old' 'Federalist Papers' successfully 'sold' the American Constitution to its ratifiers. The authors of the 'New Federalist Papers' do a superb job in reminding us that the Constitution, and the government institutions it created, deserve much more credit than they get."
other - Abner J. Mikva
"At a time when politicians are proclaiming their support for all kinds of amendments to the U.S. Constitution--budget balancing, term limits, flag burning, victims' rights, etc.--it's important to remember what the original document stands for. These thoughtful essays demonstrate the contemporary relevance of the ideas first developed in the original 'Federalist Papers.' They couldn't be published at a more critical moment."
other - Elliott Richardson
"These essays emulate the original 'Federalist Papers' by focusing on the structure of our Constitutional government and the profound changes in that structure being urged today by many so-called conservatives....Simply put, whatever our political persuasion, we should at least understand what we are doing to the fundamentals of a federalism which has served us extraordinarily well for over two centuries, be clear about the consequences, and honest about our objectives."
other - Nicholas D. Katzenbach
