Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck revisited Thomas Paineâ€™s famous pre-Revolutionary War call to action in his #1 ,New York Tim,es bestseller ,Glenn Beckâ€™s Common Sense,. Now he brings his historical acumen and political savvy to this fresh, new interpretation of ,The Federalist Papers,, the 18th-century collection of political essays that defined and shaped our Constitution and laid bare the â€œoriginal argumentâ€ between statesâ€™ rights and big federal governmentâ€”a debate as relevant and urgent today as it was at the birth of our nation.,Adapting a selection of these essential essaysâ€”pseudonymously authored by the now well-documented triumvirate of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jayâ€”for a contemporary audience, Glenn Beck has had them reworked into â€œmodernâ€ English so as to be thoroughly accessible to anyone seeking a better understanding of the Founding Fathersâ€™ intent and meaning when laying the groundwork of our government. Beck provides his own illuminating commentary and annotations and, for a number of the essays, has brought together the viewpoints of both liberal and conservative historians and scholars, making this a fair and insightful perspective on the historical works that remain the primary source for interpreting Constitutional law and the rights of American citizens.
