What can I say about this incredibly-important piece of political science and history? Written to raise understanding and support of the new Constitution, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay explain in stunning detail the original intent of nearly every element of the proposed federal government.
It is frightening that the Supreme Court cites (completely out of context, by the way) private correspondence from Thomas Jefferson -- who was not even involved in the drafting of the Constitution -- in support of the concept that there should be a wall of separation between Church and State, yet this collection of articles by framers of the Constitution is practically ignored.
This should be required reading for every student before leaving high school. I think I'd settle, though, for it to be required of law students -- particularly those who someday aspire to become judges....less

This profile of President Lincoln proceeds from the assumption that Lincoln struggled with depression for most of his life, and it looks at how his depression shaped his presidency. The author seems to think he is the first to come to this conclusion, but I know I have seen it discussed -- though in much more concise terms -- in other works. Most memorably, the issue of depression in the presidency is addressed in Herbert Abrams' "The President Has Been Shot: Confusion, Disability, and the 25th Amendment."...less
