PRAISE FOR THE FEDERALIST PAPERS ANNOTATED

“Judge Wagner’s general introduction as well as the introduction to each of the Federalist Papers … provide the setting and background, much like the background placed behind diamonds accentuate their brilliance. Our country can benefit immensely from the rediscovery of this national treasure, which not only persuaded the states to ratify the Constitution but has continued to elucidate its meaning.”
Morse Tan,
Former U.S. Ambassador and Dean, Liberty University School of Law

“At a time when many “elite scholars” work diligently to undermine the founding principles of our nation, this work makes those principles clear – a nation under God, the equality of every human, and the freedom of every citizen to practice their faith and pursue their individual good without interference of any government.”
Brent Ellis,
President, Spring Arbor University
