Watching old reruns of "West Wing" I saw this book in one episode and I found it to be very enlightening what we believe about our federal government. It is a good, clear explanation of some of the events leading up to and after the creating of our constitution, hence a clearer vision of the basis of our government and the Democratic and Republican parties. It also brings to light the "Federalist Papers" to which I will be reading next. It's all good stuff which I think they should be teaching in school.
God Bless America!
