included are THE FEDERALIST PAPERS, Nos. 10, 39, 46, 47, 51, and 69, and the Supreme Court opinions in the Marbury v. Madison and McCulloch v. Maryland cases.
This book was a major disappointment, and the title is very misleading. The book opens with a small handful of high quality, classical readings in American Politics. It then moves very quickly to low quality, derivative essays from the 1980's. Not only is the content of most of the essays nowhere near classic, but their recent publication dates would disqualify them from being classics even if the content was worth reading.
